OK, I watched today’s individual time trial. It was a fucking disaster for the American riders. First, Bobby Julich crashed out, which was a tragedy. He was one of the good guys. Second, Levi Leipheimer, what the hell happened? I had him picked to win the Tour, and he lost 5 minutes over today’s race. He must be sick or something. I’m still trying to find out what happened. Then George Hincapie came in losing a couple of minutes. The only highlight was Floyd Landis, who came in second, but he still had a rough day. The Tour authorities forced him to change his time trial position, which ended up messing his bike up. After he changed bikes, he got a flat.Â

Looks like Floyd is in the best position to take the Tour when it hits the mountains. Who knows what is coming next.
