Floyd is a warrior.
Attack Mother ****er Attack!Westy said:
Floyd is 4:30 ahead of the yellow jersey group right now. Amazing he's got anything after yesterday, but it's testament to how tough he really is.
if it was a fueling/hydration issue yesterday then his muscles didnt work at thier Max.......so it is possible he is much much stronger today.robdamanii said:
wheres Menchov today?
Are there time bonuses for top 3 at a climb or just sprint?
now its just Landis and Sinkewitz, and Sink was the dude Landis talked to when he caught the break earlier...wonder what he said??
Go Floyd Go you tough bastard!!
GO FLOYD GO!!!!!! GO MF'ER GO!!!!
If he hold this lead it will put him in 2nd. HOLY NUTSACK!!!!!
Now saying if he gets the time bonus for sprints and stage win and holds a lead of 7:00 it will put him back in yellow... If he does it I am going to lose it right here in my office.

When was the last time they actually had to race to Paris????
He can descned like a feign.
Then its basically just a time trial up Joux-Plane......

Probably something like "help me for yellow and I'll get you the stage win".douglas said:
Again, do they get time bonuses for climbs or just for sprints?
just sprints i think.......87% sure...robdamanii said:
Floyd is "digging deep into the suitcase of courage" today.....
Holy chit. It will be a miracle if he keeps this lead, even if he doesn't they need to come up with a new color jersy for having big brass balls.
Attack Mother ****er Attack!!!
Attack Mother ****er Attack!!!
Floyd's doing a pretty damn good job on his own it seems. Now if he keeps it up, those extra seconds could be worth gold.mogulskr said:
I can't believe this can actually happen. If he keeps it together on the Joux Plane, he can certainly pull it out (even from 2 or 3 minutes defecit) for a podium.
That last climb is going to suck for him and I'm sure T-Mobile will attack, I hope he can keep it together (he is at 9:00 now).
I think he dehydrated yesterday because he is apparently drinking bottle after bottle of water and dumping an equal amoun on his head.
Hes going Pantani on their asses. Hope he can hold on... I cant believe no one has chased him yet. Sounds like that dope move Phonak and T-Mobile pulled with Pererio. Not to take away from the size of Floyd's balls, I cant believe he can go so fast pulling those massive things up those climbs.
NOTE: I didnt know he could fly down the mountain like he does... he's apparently killing everyone on the downhill sections... which is good because I know he's going to lose some time on that last climb. Maybe he can make it back a little on the backside.

Pedal B#$CH!
Floyd rocks!
" Tuesday: Yellow Jersey For A Six-Pack Of Beer...
After Floyd Landis regained the lead of the Tour de France at the top of L’Alpe d’Huez he decided that he wanted a beer to celebrate the moment. On the road down to his hotel, his team car pulled over and the American traded a yellow jersey for a six-pack of beer with a spectator."

Peloton is closing the gap a bit. Floyd will be hitting the last big climb soon. This one looks like a real back breaker. Will be a real show killer for some.
yep - will be very interesting to see who.Westy said:
Landis and Rasmussen - PEDAL YOU BASTARDS!!!
Awesome! Go Floyd!!!!!douglas said:
Actually, I might get crucified for saying this, Floyd seems a lot more likeable than Lance and if he wins, I think it might be more dramatic...Armstrong just dominated so much, this is more like your riding buddy winning the TDF.
Is there a better site to follow the action than letour.com?
Holy crap... I can't believe what a lead Landis has. I sincerely hope he can hold himself together on the final climb, because this is a heroic effort.
So he was hungover yesterday? That explains it.
This is friggin awesome. I can't believe they let him get up the road.
Let's not forget that the next climb is one of the few that caused Armstrong to crack. The other contenders should be worried.
Go Floyd!!!!
