Will today be the day a rider (Lance) gets knocked off his bike by one of the rabid fans that are IN the roadway on the l'Alpe d'Huez TT course?

They are only up to about rider 60 of 151 and the fans are already out of control in my opinion.

Factor in another hour and a half of beer, altitude and dehydration (before the top riders start) and we could see a very unfortunate event today.

They were all in France today.

Exactly, and with a pale, bare-assed Frenchie tucked under each arm!
