hi there, as the tour de france commnces soon I thought i would start this little thread. I presume in the diversity of AGS some of you must be road cycling fans. Last year we were all astounded when Lance Armstrong won a fifth tour even after lunchbag attacks. This yera he's coming back promising to have trained harder. Do you think he wilol win (as i do) or will he become another famous hasbeen?
i love lance but i believe ulrich has a good chance and several othes could take the title.

discuss

Shit... This thread would have been started by me.

I HOPE Lance will get the VIth, but I don't know... It deppends a lot on the DauphinÃ© LiberÃ©, Lance should take it easier than in the previous year, no matter if he misses it.

Go Austin Power!!!

EDIT: Wohooo! My friend JosÃ© Ventoso has won the Wachovia USPRO Championships!

A lot better, He trains in asheville north carolina. His mountain time should be lowered

Seen him, but I have said a few words of encouragement to him. Ashville is on top of a mountain and he has been riding everytime im in ashville.

He is better than the previous year... He had some problems with an allergia, and taking medicines before the Tour is never good... He also kept by mistake a bad position with his pedal too many time and he developed a tendinitis (Does that exist in English? Problems with their their sinews, anyway).

I keep thinking that it deppends a lot of how much tired he will be after DauphinÃ©-LiberÃ©, and it will deppend a lot of Ullrich, who is stronger in ITT, IMO.

My bet:

1) Lance.
2) Jan.
3) Tyler.
4) Iban.
5) Roberto.
