Armstrong Back in Yellow

Lance finished way ahead of Voigts and Moreau, the two riders ahead of him in the General Classification, more than a minute ahead of Ivan Basso, more than two minutes ahead of Jan Ullrich, and more than five minutes ahead of Alexandre Vinokourov who completely and unexpectedly cracked. No one else really matters now. Rasmussen, the Danish rider of the Rabobank team, is in second place overall, only 38 seconds back and that could be a worry if he can drop Lance in any of the upcoming mountain stages, but as long as they stay together, Armstrong will wipe him out in the upcoming time trial. Lance is not out of the woods, but things are looking pretty damn good and this incredible performance.

I wish I saw the stage - my cable company (AMAZINGLY!) added OLN to one of its utility channels just for the TDF, so I can catch a bit of the race before heading to work.

Go Lance!

I know. Especially when you consider that he's a cancer survivor. It makes his incredible athleticism all the move amazing.

Hey, no problem there. When you live in the glorious Pacific time zone, the stage finishes before you need to be at work. Lucky me, huh?
