I never thought bicycle racing could be fun to watch, but I'm really enjoying it. The team strategy, the sprints, the time in the mountains... Good stuff.

Landis is a bad ass!!! He bonks the yesterday. Then he smokes everybody like Eddy Merckx, including Oscar P! Amazing rider! Landis is riding like it's his last. I really hope that after the Tour is over and he has the hip surgery, that he recovers quickly, to come back and fight again next year. I will never forget watching Landis at the San Francisco GP riding a wheelie up the steep grade of Taylor hill!! He is such a superb bike handler and professional!
It was so amazing ! Props to Floyd Landis! :snap: :cheers: :cool:

Yeah, Floyd! Watching him come back yesterday was amazing.

It's all about the time trial.and remember Landis had a bike change in the last time trial. And still beat Perriro by 1:30 or so. So this will be interesting.

Spoiler:
They are still only separated by :59 seconds. It's not over til it's over! Landis in the lead.

I know he was in pain from the bad hip, pain releases adrenaline but I believe it also raises testosterone levels (which helps to block pain)

So could a rider like Landis actually gain an advantage by riding through the pain and if the high level of hormons are natural (ie a result of hip damage) then can you ban him for it?
