not yet but he has 4 minutes overweight
to end 2 or 3 stages

only bad luck can retrieve his winner...

i think it's hilarious that an american goes over to France every year and wins their silly little bicycle race.

Pissed off cause I've missed all the mountain stages.

Respect to Armstrong ... definately a contender for best sportsman to ever the live.

To win the biggest endurance event in the world of sport 6 times (provided there are no mishaps b4 Sunday) is a simply awesome achievement.

truly! and if i may take a moment...

seeing as i currently work in the cycling industry (and as a CTS support staff member for cycling training camps) i must add this $0.02 :

what these guys do, whether they win or come in 112, is amazing! riding a bicycle over 2000 miles in 3 weeks, up some of the tallest peaks in europe, and under extreme weather conditions (rain, heat, etc), with media scrutiny, fan mayem, team demands, etc etc etc is unparralleled in any other sporting category.
while the TdF may seem like the hardest part for the racers, it's actually the eleven months out of the year they are training/racing to get ready for le Tour. there is no "off season," it's constant training for year on end before you can even get accepted for a tour team.

Re:: Tour the France 2004

I'm not taking away anything from Armstrong but he has been busted in the past for using banned substances.

I wouldn't be shocked if he was busted again.

[Steve Graham]

^^^^ when was this? I think you are mistaken. There were allegations by someone writing a book. But he has never failed a drug test, and he is one of the most tested athletes.
