Unfortunately no one got killed in the ensuing riot so few watched it.
;-)  I am glad to see the active cleaning up of the sport's drug
stain.

It was a great tour, I think quite a few didn't watch it because Lance had
retired...if so they missed a remarkable event.  I am not a cyclist but
it's a short stretch to understand what physical mountains these athletes
move day after day, week after week, in this grueling race.

Whether or not Floyd can return to this high level after the hip
replacement is questionable, I've not heard of anyone who has come close. 
But it anyone can do it, I'd put my wager on him.

I suppose this is the end of the line for Jan Ullrich.
