USA! USA! USA!

OK here is what I would like to see. Lance wins #6 with Tyler coming in a close second. Lance then retires to hang out with Sheryl Crow and Tyler wins in 2005, 2006, 2007.....

Evidently, the way the race is being staged this year, a clear winner can not be assured until very late in the race, a few days out of Paris. There will be an individual time trial up Alpe d'Huez! (stage 16 of 20)

Sorry to see Marco Pantani's passing. Would have like to have seen him compete at the level again where he was once capable.

I know LA is tweaking every little thing to improve his aerodynamics; hell, "il Pirata" even had his ears clipped and improved his aerodynamics!

Sorry - I'm rooting for Tyler to beat Lance's pants off! ;D

I noticed a lot of women jumping off the Lance Armstrong band wagon after he left his wife and started hanging out with actresses and other female celebreties.

Guys on the other hand don't seem to have an issue with that. Hey! We all wish we could ride up an alp at 25mph too.

Methinks all you men are more jealous of Lance's new squeeze than his ability to ride up L'Alpe d'Huez at 25 mph......

As for me, I met Tyler at an awards ceremony for the MS Society before last year's tour, and was converted then..... All others are just jumping on the bandwagon ;)

I've liked Tyler for a long time, back into his collegiate days, but he might have a chance to win this year, maybe next year but sorry he is too old to win past that.

I wouldn't be jealous cause he's with an old Crow, i'm jealous at the fact that when he quits his road bike every MTB company out there is going to be on his doorstep.

I think that's the FUNNIEST thing I've read on this forum in a LONG time! Maybe that was a bad phrase....... ;)

Go Tyler!
