After having a terrible day on the bike yesterday, losing approximately 10 minutes and dropping to 11th in the Tour, Floyd Landis came back with a vengeance today. He attacked about halfway through the stage and proceeded to destroy the peloton. He regained almost all the time he lost, and is now 3rd overall with about 30 seconds seperating him from the leader. He is more than capable of making that time up on Saturday, which is the last individual time trial.
He’s going to win, and it’ll be the most exciting finish to a tour since Lance won his first. Today’s stage was so exciting, I can’t wait to actually see it. I just followed it online while I was sitting at my desk at work.
I just can’t believe that Floyd was able to come back from such a shitty day yesterday. It’s incredible.

I just caught up with my Tivo on the last two days. I can’t believe it!! That was one of the most gutsy performances ever. I was impressed by Rassmusen on the stage that Landis bonked but, when Landis did it the next day OMFG!!!

Yeah dude. I was getting adrenalized just reading the live feed on cyclingnews.com. When Landis got off the bike he looked like he was about to just start swinging on everyone he came across. He was on fire.
