Anyone here follows Tour De France?

Starts on July 5th. Do you think Lance can do it for the 5th time? Only Eddie Merck and Miguel Indurin ever did it.

**BlackMagic** · July 4th, 2003 12:24 PM

Lance is the man. Whether he wins or not, with what he's accomplished, I dont think even Indurain or Merckx could surpass. He is my ultimate idol!!! The best there ever will be.

**kimpOy** · July 4th, 2003 01:51 PM

yup LANCE is the man!
go for five.

what happen to Greg lemond? di ba nag mountain bike siya after his stint sa road bike?

**1D4LV** · July 4th, 2003 02:16 PM

agree, ala pa ring katapat si LA.

From a cancer patient to a WINNER! Go Lance Armstrong! Nasa Postal pa rin ba sya?

**BlackMagic** · July 4th, 2003 02:31 PM

Yup USPS pa rin siya. Isa kasi ang USPS sa mga sumuporta sa kanya nung may cancer siya. Kasama na rin ang Oakley, Nike at Giro. Kaya di mo siya makikita magsusuot ng ibang helmet at jersey.

Jan Ulrich, 4th place sa Prologue. This year is supposedly his comeback year. Very gifted and talented, but undiscipline athlete. We'll see.

how about marco "the pirate" pantani, the great mountain climber himself babalik pa ba siya?

**BlackMagic** · July 7th, 2003 09:09 PM

Pantani isnt a threat anymore. Si Tyler Hamilton mukang malabo na. He broke his collarbone today. Si Ulrich talaga ang medyo matinding rival ni Lance. Kaso nung kalakasan nilang dalawa, yakang yaka talaga ni Lance si Ulrich. Sana pumwesto rin si Ekimov. He is being groomed to head USPS pag la na si Lance.

hear hear. i follow the tour de france

armstrong is gunning for an unprecedented 6th title this year. he already won this 5 times since 1999

stage 10 finished about 10 minutes ago

virenque won stage 10, armstrong is 5th and crossed the line together with the peloton. virenque will enter the top 10 possibly ahead of armstrong. wa pa ang final standings but voeckler continues to wear the yellow jersey (he came in 3rd in this stage) while virenque will move ahead of armstrong

stay tuned for more. gruppo bettini (green jersey) is in the 3rd group and has not yet crossed the finish line

at the 5km mark, they were 20'15" from virenque

great information and graphics of the route

anb, by the way, there were two bad crashes today by kessler and hinault. i am not sure if they are still in the race

**empy** · July 15th, 2004 01:55 AM

i'm rooting for lance. partly because i like his story, and he seems like a good person, and partly because the tour is a big source of national pride for france, and it annoys them greatly when an american wins it :D

**111prez** · July 15th, 2004 02:25 AM

the tour de france is not about any country or nationality annoying each other. moreover, i doubt if the intention of lance armstrong is to annoy anybody. anyone who finishes the tour is a winner in my book. it is a grueling race that deserves the respect of all. if lance respects his competitors, then a true fan will do no less

**111prez** · July 15th, 2004 03:28 AM

para sa lahat ng mga tour-ista sa france, here are the top 10 in the overall individual standings after this afternoon's stage 10:

1 VOECKLER Thomas FRA BLB in 42h 42' 14"

2 O'GRADY Stuart AUS COF at 03' 00"

3 CASAR Sandy FRA FDJ at 04' 13"

4 VIRENQUE Richard FRA QSD at 06' 52"

5 PIIL Jakob DEN CSC at 07' 31"

6 ARMSTRONG Lance USA USP at 09' 35"

7 ZABEL Erik GER TMO at 09' 58"

8 AZEVEDO José POR USP at 10' 04"

9 GUTIERREZ José Enrique ESP PHO at 10' 09"

10 MANCEBO Francisco ESP IBB at 10' 18"

hamilton is no. 11; hincapie is no 15; ullrich is no. 17

no need for you to be condescending.

m54 powered -- sorry pare, no intention to be condescending. pasensiya ka na sa pasyon

peace pare. we all need this

hear hear for the tour de france

tanging pangarap ko ay makakita naman ng pilipino na lumaban, kung hindi man sa isang pilipino team, eh kahit rider nalang sa isang team dyan, kahit anong nationality:D

yep... been following the tour via the nightly 30-min update show...

lance armstrong proved why he's already a 5-time winner of this tour... he attacked during the two recent mountain stages and finished 2nd and 1st in them... from 9th place, some 9.5 mins. behind the leader (voeckler) before these two stages, he is now at 2nd place only 22 sec. behind... he should get the over-all lead in the next mountain stage and probably hold it from then on to win his 6th title... that guy is such a great cyclist but still carries himself with humility...
