    Rasmussen is having one shitty day today...a crash and now a tire malfunction. Life is sucking for him. He'll lose third place to Ullrich because of it.

    Basso is kicking ass and taking names...

    Armstrong and Ullrich are both looking strong in early stages of their Individual Time Trials today.

    To be continued.....maybe....

            Lance is 32 seconds ahead of Ullrich at the 40km mark with 15 to go.

                Lance wins the time trial (Stage 20) and the Tour. Tomorrow's stage is just a formality.

                    Armstrong wins seventh straight Tour de France
                    July 24, 2005
                    CBS SportsLine.com wire reports

                    PARIS -- Lance Armstrong closed out his amazing career with a seventh consecutive Tour de France victory Sunday -- and did it a little earlier than expected.

                    Because of wet conditions, race organizers stopped the clock as Armstrong and the main pack entered Paris. Although riders were still racing, with eight laps of the Champs-Elysees to complete, organizers said that Armstrong had officially won.

                    The stage started as it has done for the past six years -- with Armstrong celebrating and wearing the race leader's yellow jersey.

                    One hand on his handlebars, the other holding a flute of champagne, Armstrong toasted his teammates as he pedaled into Paris to collect his crown. He held up seven fingers -- one for each win -- and a piece of paper with the number 7 on it.

                    But Armstrong's last ride as a professional -- the closing 89.8-mile 21st stage into Paris from Corbeil-Essonnes south of the capital -- was not without incident in the rain.

                    Three of his teammates slipped and crashed coming around a bend just before they crossed the River Seine. Armstrong, right behind them, braked and skidded into the fallen riders.

                    Armstrong used his right foot to steady himself, and was able to stay on the bike.

                    His teammates, wearing special shirts with a band of yellow on right shoulder, recovered and led him up the Champs-Elysees at the front of the pack.

                    Organizers then announced that they had stopped the clock because of the slippery conditions.

                            Wqas watching PTI the other day.

                            Kornheiser is on vacation, and Jay Mariotti is filling in.

                            At the end of the show, "Stat Boy" Tony Reali comes out and points out the mistakes made. Mariotti had mention Lance had won 7 Tours, when this one wasn't over, and though he'll win, it was still at 6.

                            I emailed the show when Reali didn't point that out and he replied with a "it will be 7, live with it, it's over" retort.

                            I laughed and just replied, "whatever, love the show".

                                        Well done to Lance.

                                        I heard today that they're talking of making a movie about Lances life. Matt Damon is keen to play Lance.

                                            Watching "around the horn" and just heard a great comment by Bill Plaschke..."Armstrong won the tour and didn't beat his chest and point to the sky"...
                                            really makes you realize what hotdogs most pro athletes are...

                                                I have to tell you...I'm more impressed with the guy daily...

                                                that 10/2 commercial is something...I remember reading an article when he actually had cancer...and the article essentially saying he was going to die...

                                                followed by 7 fucking tours in a row...

                                                talk about the ultimate fuck you...

                                                    And the guy is going to quit cycling at the top of his game for a horrible reason...

                                                    to be with his kids...

                                                    he was saying how if he was french...and his kids lived in france...8 or 9 would be a great number...but he doesn't...and they don't...so he won't...

                                                    you have to think his ex-wife left him because of it...it's funny how that isn't ever brought up...but you have to wonder about the dynamics...I mean...she stuck by him through the cancer...had his kids...after the fact...

                                                    Lance Armstrong is unreal...

                                                        Have you read Armstrongs book "Every Second Counts"?

                                                        He's very cautious about what he says about his wife. Full of praise for her, even though they were well and truly broken up. Sheryl Crow barely got a mention.

                                                        I'd think that Lance wouldn't be the easiest person to live with - very intense type personality.
