Tour de France - Wednesday

[Phil C]

We are down to the last five days of the tour and the race today is an uphill mountain climb. Can Lance hold the rest off and increase his lead. His main competitor now appears to be Basso of Italy. This is a critical day for Lance because it is one of his strong points in racing. We will see. GO LANCE GO!

Lance is winning Stage 16 today! They are probably close to the finish line! GO LANCE GO!!

Thank you Bigdog1. Lance won today!! He is 3min48seconds ahead of Basso. He is in good shape to win it! This was a critical race for him to gain time. Way to go Lance. Go Lance Go. Four more stages to go.

Yep kickin' some butt. Its fun to watch the stage as it happens, the commentator updates every couple of minutes and writes some good descriptions. I think Lance is Pi$$ed off at the French right now and he's going to continue to dominate to make his point. He will probably ride hard tommorrow and Friday to really blow his competition away.
