They did better than CNN who's summary for today's stage was
that three riders fell and Lance Armstrong is now 9.5
seconds behind the leader...

Even better, Fox Chicago tonight, showing the crash in the
middle of the road, and saying: LA was 1st this morning with
the Yellow Jersey, he finished the stage 24th and is now
back to 9'xx. It sounded like he lost all his changes to win
the race!!

Pathetic way to wate 10 seconds of TV

I happened to catch Paul Harvey during a 12 hour drive
yesterday who said that "...Ile de France five time winner
Lance Armstrong said the world championship wouldn't be
decided in northern France, but in the Pyrenees."

But OLN did have Al Trouthead mangling Chartres into
something that was akin to "Chatter" or "Shatter". Couldn't
we at least have a nobody who might know something about
architecture in Amiens or Chartres to replace him? Phil And
Paul can handle the bike stuff.

You'd THINK Lance would know better. It'll be decided on the
satge 19 ITT!

I have noticed a lot of these gaffes, and get a little
annoyed. Then I have to think atleast they are bothering to
notice. Maybe it is that it is an olympic year, or maybe
because it is historic if armstrong wins, or maybe it is
just a slow news week. but the TDf has been on the front
page of both the Washington post and the New Yok Times the
whole week!

What is up with that? Not that I am complaing. I would have
to say I hope it doesn't go away....And in a few years ESPN
etc. will actually learn what the race is all about....until
then I am happy to field question why all isn't lost because
lance is 9:30 down. I have been using the fact that Voeckler
lost 3h28m to Lance last year to put things into
perspective.

I also have never really understood how complex cycling is
until trying to explain all the in and outs to someone. but
I am enjoying trying elucidate the complexities.
