#1 I watched it this AM. Basso was strong today, but they say he's not a threat to Lance overall, correct?

#2 Lord knows how much I love it when Lance pisses of the Frenchies -- go, Lance!

#3 This has the political feel of Jesse Owens at the '36 Olympics. Go Lance.

#4 I am almost surprised that Lance hasn't had an "accident" yet. I doubted the Phrench would let him be the all-time KING of the TdF. we will see, no?

#5 Good point, Brett. Remember the yellow handbag incident last year with Lance, hooked around the right drop on his handlebar, who then took out Mayo (Ullrich was right behind them)? It's part of the OLN highlights when they do the Subaru (whatever the hell it is) Award.

I wonder why we never found out who the lasy was ~~Virenque's wife~~?

#6 Frank - Basso's been mentioned as GC material but usually after Hamilton, Ullrich, Heras and Mayo. My comments on him & Sastre fighting to be top dog on the CSC team may be problematic unless Bjarne Riis (CSC's director and '96 TdF winner) orders Sastre to work for Basso. Riis should do so soon if he hasn't already.

#7 Props to Voeckler, though, who's no climber but really gutted it out to keep the yellow jersey another day.
