Oh, Tour! Good job everyone. Well done.

You know, I didn't care for Landis at the beginning of the Tour, but by the end of it, I'd changed my mind. I really rather like him and I'm glad he won, particularly after the events of Stage 17.

Also, Rasmussen is ridiculously narrow. I thought he was going to fold in half trying to lift his baby onto the King of the Mountain podium with him.

348 days to Tour 2007 in London!


but...but...what am i going to do for the extra nine to ten hours a day without the tour?

Did they show the Petolon's salute to Ekimov? I teared up.

*is big weepy girl*

The final stage was very exciting with the speed and the attempted breaks! I still don't warm to Landis, but he did an amazing job and more power to him. :)

oh i'm right there with you, with the eki-blubbing. i didn't see it till we watched the highlights last night, but it was just so great to see how much respect people have for him.

cyclingnews have posted today that he is retiring in september and is coming back as a director sportif for disco, which is as it should be. :)

That's great news! As you say, exactly as it should be. :)
