Wtg Landis! I had my money on him before it started this year (after the cheating Basso and Ulrich was kicked) I was worried on the stage were Landis collapsed but the follwoing day he did the best comback ever in TDF.

And Wtg Thor Hushovd for winning the first and last stage of this years tour! Nobody in history has done that, and he was the first norwegian to ever win the last stage on Champs Elyse!

wow, people actually watch that stuff? I just figured it was something to show on cable when no one was looking.. You know, like futball/soccer.

The things we learn on the AH Board... Who knew?

Stage 17 was amazing.
The best part is that he got his win, so now he can get the hip replacement and not have as much pressure to come back strong. I wouldn't be surprised to see him back at an elite level though.

I keep hearing they make great wine. Yet with one exeption, none of it I've ever had tasted much better then Mad Dog 2020

Is boonsfarm French wine? That's a little better than Mad Dog.

I will give Landis the benefit of the doubt.. But I won't jump on the band wangon in "favour of him" yet until more is known on how the testing was done... I don't really know much about it...
