Anybody enjoy watching the Tour De France? This is the first time it has started in England, the 1st stage was quite good with that, regardless of how about Robby McEwen come from behind win. He was at the very back of the peloton and somehow managed to get up there. With all my favorites out because of doping (Ullrich, Basso, Landis), I'm rooting Levi Leipheimmer or Andreas Kloden, even though I dislike the American Discovery Team. It's just dull to watch them win over and over again. I don't like George Hincapie regardless, he reminds me of the arrogantr ass Armstrong is.

Keep a look for the sprints this year, Thor Hushovd, Tom Boonen, Robby McEwen, David De La Fuente.

Landis still hasn't been proven guilty hence why he isn't the tour this year. George Hincapie is still in the race, he is frontrunner, I just dislike the Discovery Team so I ignore them until the mountain stages where Discovery is good. Papovych is a shitty sprinter and has a horrible lead-in.

There is a suprising amount of people who believe his innocence--and he actually has been proven guilty, they still investigating.

I think he is guilty but I'm not a huge fan. I was devastated when I found out about Jan Ullrich. He was so good and he made the tour good, with Lance Armstrong. Those were the best mountain duels ever, watching them pull off and dominate. They had respect for eachother, so the competition was just amazing...
