Anybody here interested in the Tour de France?

As an avid former bicyclist myself, I always love it when the Tour de France is televised on the Versus channel. I remember back in the 1980′s when I had to read about the day’s results in the next day’s newspaper, but now, with Versus, I’m able to wake up in the morning and watch it. I know that they’ve had a lot of drug scandals the past few years but there’s a lot more to it than that. Have you ever wondered how those guys race up the Alps and Pyrenees, and then safely (most of the time) race DOWN the Alps and Pyrenees? I wish I had known about professional bicycling back when I was a kid, but, now I’m way too old, and handicapped, so, I only fantasize, and love watching the Tour on Versus. Who do you think will win this year?
