BAD CRAZINESS
on le Tour today. Armstrong barely avoided a crash that broke the leg, wrist, and elbow of Joseba Beloki by bailing into a field (see pic of Beloki at left - it won't be up long, but bike pain is my metier). Lance kept the yellow jersey, but he's only 21 seconds ahead of the Ivan Drago of cycling, the cyborg Alexandre Vinokourov. Tyler Hamilton continues to show American guts by hanging in the top 5 with a broken collarbone he suffered in the first stage, while the pussies Petacchi, Kirsipuu, Manzano, Perez, Pollack, and Rich dropped out, bones intact.
Tomorrow is moving day for Lance. He needs a stage win and he's cruising.
