Le Tour du Fruntz
Fine, maybe the only guys here that give two shits are the guys named Chris. But still, you gotta love a sport where you get to drink while locking up your win.
Eight straight for the Americans...or, as I like to think about it, eight straight wins for former mountain bikers in the world's premier road race event. The cool kids are beating up the nerds. Giggity.
Anyone noticed that the only Americans that have won the TDF have had some awful disease or debilitating physical condition?
Lance had cancer, Lemond had 50 odd lead pellets in his lungs, heart, liver and pancreas, and Landis has a hip that needs replacing.
Lance was actually a cheater because the lack of a testicle made him 75 grams lighter. By the way, though he's allegedly a monster prick, big ups to Lance for all the "I have one ball" jokes at the ESPYs.
Anyone see the Daily Show the other day with Landis finishing Stage 18 on a Jazzy Scooter? Classic.
And if Tyler Hamilton ever gets back on he has a shot at a win, and he always has about 11 broken bones, bleeding gums, and I think his spine was inserted in reverse or something. He's a bad bad man.
Posted by: Chris at July 25, 2006 06:02 PMI have heard of Tyler Hamilton, although admittedly I thought he was this Landis guy for the first few stages, and that his name was Tyler Landis.

Drinky.
