It's the best time of year. Summer is here. The Tour is here. And OLN is covering the Tour live. And I have OLN. Could it get any better than that?

After the opening prologue, there's an American in the maillot jaune. No big surprise. Except it's not Lance Armstrong, who should win his 7th straight tour. It's San Francisco's Dave Zabriskie, who nipped Armstrong by 2 seconds in the time trial. Americans are 1-2. Nice.

Dave Zabriskie. He's young. He's wiry. He's an amazing time trialer. Could he be Armstrong's heir apparent?
