  1. One of the longest on-line articles I've seen on Armstong. You've probably
    heard it all before, but fwiw:

    http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?020715fa_fact1

    Some decent factoids and training numbers.

    And not from the Times. Still, pretty interesting.

    It reads like a Train Right press release.

    Armstrong doesn't enter races like the Dauphiné to win (though often enough
    he does); he enters to test his legs in preparation for a greater goal

    Says it all really !

    Does anyone realise why it's called the Dauphine Libere? It's because
    you guys saved our ass in WWII.

    That Canadian thing was just a phase I was going through.
