Is anyone rooting for someone other than Lance?

I mean, I would like to see Lance get #6, but for some reason I'm rooting for Tyler Hamilton to win (he's probably a huge longshot) but after learning about him riding almost the entire tour last year with a broken collarbone - he's my man that I'm rooting for.

He was in 11th place just the other day and within striking distance. And didn't he win a stage last year broken collarbone and all?

Does he have a chance in hell or is there no way he could pull of a miraculous upset of the favorites?

I don't know enough about Road racing to know if he's got a shot, but either way I'm rooting for him. :)

Not only that but Tyler's dog of 9 years has cancer and has to be put down. He got this news on Monday's Rest Day...

:(

However, I'm rooting for Lance all the way!

He went on a huge solo breakaway in one of the final stages last year.

Either Tyler or Lance. It would be kinda cool to see Tyler win with all the hype around Lance this year. Lance has to come back next year anyway, so he could go for #6 then if he didn't get it this year.

I personally hope Lance extends the streak to a height unattainable by any future Frenchies. Tyler can win all he wants after that.
good idea, however, unlikely, isnt Tyler the same age as Lance; 32 or so? Hes just as over the hill in cycling years as the Texan

Livin it up in the O.C.
Tomorrow should be a good stage... finally in the mountains.
Plus, after today's 200+ km's, everyone will be VERY tired.
Time to ATTACK!! :nuts:

With all of this Lance crap everywhere, I'd really rather see Hamilton or Ullrich win it. First of all, I think the five wins thing should stay, it just makes it that much more amazing when someone does it later. Also, I don't really like Lance's attitude, and from what I've heard he's a much bigger jackass that any of the other competitors. I see Hamilton as much more humble, and all of the press surrounding Armstrong is starting to anger me. My vote goes to Cipo... wait, what the hell?????
