Floyd is My Hero…

After clawing back nearly 8 minutes in Stage 17 of the Tour de France, after a disappointing, and disastrous Stage 16, Floyd Landis stomped on the gas again and took the lead in the Tour De France in the Stage 19 Time Trial. Tomorrow, as long as there are no major mishaps, Floyd Landis will ride into Paris as the 2006 Tour De France Champion for the first time!

This years tour was totally unpredictable, and I had said Floyd would win all along. I should have bet money. Every year, we expect one person to win the whole thing (Lance…ahem) so the last 6 tours haven’t been that exciting. This year I was totally glued to the set, and I hope that we see more unpredictable tours in the future.

Although I hope Floyd gets his hip fixed and comes back, I want him to fight for it like he did this year. Otherwise, there is no excitement.
