le tour

Today Lance Armstrong took second place in Stage 14 and remains in first place in the overall standings. I have a hunch that tomorrow Lance may win the stage in honor of his former teammate, Fabio Casartelli. During the 1995 Tour, Casartelli crashed during the descent of Col de Portet d'Aspet and died. Stage 15 on Sunday will cover this same route.

Seriously, you gotta watch it tomorrow. If Lance is going to win the whole thing, he's gonna prove it tomorrow. You will not be disappointed, although you might be a confused by the strange rules, etiquette, crazy spectators, etc. of the tour.
