More Tour de France.

Holy cow. Just when you think this year's race couldn't get any better - and over two weeks into the race, only 18 seconds separated first place from third, going into today's stage - today, it did. Ullrich attacking on the mountain before the last mountain. Armstrong being taken down by a kid and run over by Iban Mayo who was just behind him. Armstrong getting back up and starting to work his way back to the leaders when he almost goes down again, when his foot came loose from the pedal. Ullrich, adhering to the unwritten rules of cycling, not taking advantage of accidents and equipment failures - and returning the favor from when Armstrong waited for Ullrich to return to the pack after a flat tire two years ago - slowing the leading group down until Armstrong could get back. Another attack by Mayo, Armstrong counterattacks, and Ullrich can't join them. Armstrong zips away, and ends up extending his lead to 1 minute 7 seconds. Enough to win? Some years, yes. This year? I don't think it's over yet. We've seen Ullrich beat Armstrong in an individual time trial already this Tour, it could happen again. I don't think it'll happen, but there's been so much this year that no one could have predicted ....
