It's a troll, but what the heck....

Last year he was stronger then ever in the months leading up to the tour.

Last year's tour was pathetic, he had to sprint for bonus seconds

2002 was a squeaker. What if he'd flatted and had to patch the tube? He'd have lost most
of his lead.

Last year's tour was pathetic, he had to sprint for bonus seconds on the top of one of those
finishes.

This year, maybe he should cut his losses and win the Giro. That way, when he looses the tour, he
can blame it on the Giro.

Sounds like bike racing, and its Grand Tours is something new you just discovered Masauskas.

So your "prediction" isn't really a prediction?

(I can't stand the excessive use of quotation marks, either - especially since I have a tendency to
overuse them myself.)

Lance in all probability will win his 5th tdf. Lances marriage does introduce a new unstable
element into his life. While Lance's martial problems will probably not affect his riding it is
impossible to tell.

The other factor is how riders like Beloki or Igor Gonzalez will do.

Lances real challenge will be attempting a 6th tdf.

All you people with yer grammer and speling issues. Where'd y'all git educated at?

I was beginning to think it was some new American modification to/mutilation of the
English language.
