Floyd's wife - I'd hit it!!

1K to go to the top for Floyd! And he still looks good. Go Go Go!!
Dude they are mostly Germans, it would have been a slap fight.DRB said:
Slowing down......MMcG said:
I'm watching OLN and they showed a brief clip of her, sorry mang.MMcG said:Link!?
AHAHAHAHA... FINAL KILOMETER, BITCHES!
Come on, Landis! Push, man, push!
Come on, Landis! Push, man, push!
The following decent is fast. Sean Kelly was recorded over 100 kph.
That would be the French....Westy said:
The Germans would have had a schizer fight in the hotel afterwards...
I'm impressed again with Rasmussen - down the road does he have a chance to win the whole thing? Say in a couple of years or so?
118.2Kph - just heard itWesty said:
He was with a teammate.
not really..........he's a climbing specialist, zero power.MMcG said:
He's got some work to do on time trialing.MMcG said:
"A LEGEND IS BORN! FLOYD LANDIS GOES OVER THE TOP OF THE JOUX PLANE! The American has a 5'15" lead over Carlos Sastre, and is going to rocket down a very fast, 12-km descent towar Morzine."
Speaking of time trialing, Landis beat Sastre by 1:10 in the first ITT.
Peirero continues to impress me, he's a real fighter.
Landis is flying, throwing caution to the wind.

Landis had to stop and switch bikes during that however.....Old Man G Funk said:
5:07 at the top for Landis....
5:08 ahead of Sastre at summit...fly down that descent!
I love the sub-context of Landis kicking everyone's butt on one of the few climbs that put the hurt on Armstrong.
what if thoose 6 seconds in the Prolougue and the time Landis lost in the ITT costs him the yellow....?!......
Pererio is over 1:40 behind Sastre.
I was just thinking that.OGRipper said:
Yeah, and he might fight enough to keep the yellow today.OGRipper said:
I want to go to Morzine...
wasn't he also late into the gate or something... lost like 8 seconds there?Old Man G Funk said:

I know. I am all knowing.
they found a slice in his rear tire.....takes a bit more time to change wheels on TT bikes.jacksonpt said:
you'll never want to leave...except to get to Les Gets, Chatel, Les Crosets, or other places in the immediate vicinity.OGRipper said:
I can't effing beleive Landis pulled this off. With 4 k to go he absolutely has it!
The single best ride I can remeber!
The single best ride I can remeber!
Holy crap...I hope he pulls this out. Armstrong is probably sitting the Discover car with his mouth wide open.
1km to the end....
1K go go for Floyd!!!!!!!
That was the prologue. He had a flat tire as he was rolling to the gate and missed his start time about 6-8 seconds.jacksonpt said:
And there you have it..... No matter what this move will be remembered.
Absolutely a historic, legendary ride. So awesome.
Landis over the line, looking defiant. The clock starts.

I called this the last year they rode for US Postal. He had all the ability to do this then, but had to play second fiddle to the boss...
