    They did better than CNN who's summary for today's stage was that three riders fell and Lance Armstrong is now 9.5 seconds behind
    the leader...

    Even better, Fox Chicago tonight, showing the crash in the middle of the road,
    and saying:
    LA was 1st this morning with the Yellow Jersey, he finished the stage 24th and
    is now back to 9'xx.
    It sounded like he lost all his changes to win the race!!

    Pathetic way to wate 10 seconds of TV

    I happened to catch Paul Harvey during a 12 hour drive yesterday who said
    that "...Ile de France five time winner Lance Armstrong said the world
    championship wouldn't be decided in northern France, but in the Pyrenees."

    But OLN did have Al Trouthead mangling Chartres into something that was
    akin to "Chatter" or "Shatter". Couldn't we at least have a nobody who
    might know something about architecture in Amiens or Chartres to replace
    him? Phil And Paul can handle the bike stuff.

    They did not mentioned the winner of the stage . No surprise there.

    You'd THINK Lance would know better.
    It'll be decided on the satge 19 ITT!

    I have noticed a lot of these gaffes, and get a little annoyed. Then I
    have to think atleast they are bothering to notice. Maybe it is that
    it is an olympic year, or maybe because it is historic if armstrong
    wins, or maybe it is just a slow news week. but the TDf has been on
    the front page of both the Washington post and the New Yok Times the
    whole week!

    What is up with that? Not that I am complaing. I would have to say I
    hope it doesn't go away....And in a few years ESPN etc. will actually
    learn what the race is all about....until then I am happy to field
    question why all isn't lost because lance is 9:30 down. I have been
    using the fact that Voeckler lost 3h28m to Lance last year to put
    things into perspective.

    I also have never really understood how complex cycling is until
    trying to explain all the in and outs to someone. but I am enjoying
    trying elucidate the complexities.

    Paul can be entertaining, but that's about as far as his commentary should be taken.

    Good Day!
