what an exceptional performance, tremendous .
Now 3 guys are inside one minute and the next 3 hops are in the the Pyrenees. Thats surely one of the most exiting Tour de Frances i've ever saw.

cc, this is the most exciting tour ive seen so far. im more of a downhill bikeman myself  but i gotta wach the tour

go ullrich, go armstrong and go hushovd (only norwegian guy this tour since one of our other norwegian guys who is on us postal didnt make the cut. hushovd is in 4th place and close to leader for the green shirt).

that tyler hamilton is one tough bugger to

to bad its summer and im wasting valuable sailing/beachvolley/suntanning/drinking and sex time waching it every day

So far it's Virenque who owns the mountains.  But yes, Lance has clobbered Ulrich in the mountains before.

I think Ullrich may over did himself in the time trial, going to be tough to recover.

Armstrong did just enough, this weekend will seal it for him.

Another TT at the end of the tour.  Armstrong will give 100% and its over.

Great Tour this year.

Sure doesn't, hats off to him.

Would of liked to see him take the "Yella" over, more work for him.

Better for Postal.

Armstrong did manage to gain a bit of breathing room from Vinakorov....(or what ever).  A lot easier to watch one rider then two.

As an American living in Germany it's tough being a Armstrong fan.

Ya get it from all sides ;)

Sure sure, but today Ullrich attacked again, now only 15 seconds behind the yellow jersey...
