| Re: Where's Lance?
I'm with you. I don't get it, either. I'm trying hard to follow this
thing, but, being completely dumb about how the TDF works, I'm totally
perplexed when I see everybody else winning, yet I hear the announcers
talking about how Lance is on his way to another sureshot victory. Maybe
that's why they don't bother to cover it much on network TV or basic cable.
Somebody help!!!!
