Can Lance pull 6?

I HATE those birds. That's when I wished I had brought a tennis racket with me. They may be able to chase a crow or hawk, but  just try that when I have ammo  ;D

I've done 60 mph down local hills in spandex, a cheesy helmet, and an unzipped jersey - I would say I feel safer on the motorbike doing 160.

Halt worked well on birds as well as dogs too.:D:D:D

BUMP!!  ;D

Lance is in the Maillot Jaune (Yellow jersey)...his closest competitor is 1:22 down, with Jan Ullrich down close to 7 minutes. This is the biggest gap Lance has had over Ullrich in the past, and Jan has always placed second to The Man.

Watch out world....history is in the making!!  :o :o

GO LANCE!

As a friend of mine stated, "The Eye of the Cyclysm has landed!  8)

Dogs were easy, just turn towards them and the back off. I learned quickly after realizing I couldn't just outrun them.

After today's Individual Time Trial to L'Alpe d'Huez, Lance is still up top. He finished 1st today which pushed his gap to 3'48" over Ivan Basso and a whopping 7'55" over Jan Ulrich.

GO LANCE!  ;D

All I can say is WOW!

Ok.... here's an interesting thought.  

Which do you think is more dangerous:  
Riding a bicycle with virtually no protective gear other than an ultra-lightweight "helmet" and a lightweight pair of half gloves or riding a motorcycle and wearing pro quality leathers, helmet, boots and gloves?

As far as street riding:  
are you in more danger on a bicycle of someone running up your back or riding a motorcycle and have someone make a turn in front of you?

And in a race environment where is there more danger:  
Making a mountain descent on a bicycle at 60 mph
or at race speed on a motorcycle in a tight race?

Just curious if others view this the same as I do.  Personally, I would consider it almost a draw.

Not even close to a draw.  motorcycles are way more dangerous, one need only look at the list of people permanently maimed (or killed) racing cycles versus racing bicycles.

Is there a question on your life insurance application that asks do you race bicycles like there is for motorcycle racing?  Ummm, no.

Another update after today's stage.....

Once again, Lance takes 1st place in today's stage which pushes his lead over Ivan Basso to 4'09" and 8'08" over his 4th placed rival, Jan Ullrich.

I'm telling you folks.......his 6th victory is within his grasp. This man is un-freaking-stoppable.

[Super Dave]

It is incredible.

Good guy, good team.

And no one seems to be able to play Lance's game.  I'd say unless there is some kind of unforseen accident or problem, it looks like it's certainly there for his taking!

Once again.....Lance took first place in the individual time trial this morning. He had the fastest time for the day and almost caught Ivan Basso who was released 3 minutes before. Was within 200 yards of catching Basso at the finish line.

This morning's stage win for Lance SEAL'S his 6th Tour de France vicotry. I have been a Lance fan since 1998 and I am speechless. This is an historic event in sports history.

Lance is my idol and hero. He is the man. His is unstoppable. He is the greatest cyclist of all time.

GO LANCE!  :D :D :D

Wow, this is way cool!  

Don't mess with Texas...
