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.

YAY BABY!

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!

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.

If he cheated then throw the bumm out, however I wonder if that's the case.

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?

I'm sure more investigation is needed. However, you know the Europeans, sick of Armstrong and constantly throwing doping allegations at him, are going to eat this up, and the controversy will never die no matter what the eventual final findings are.
