Floyd Landis did the impossible yesterday. He made up 8 minutes in the Tour de France. That's the equivalent of lapping the field in the 1600 meters at the Olympics. All anyone can figure is that when he made his move (very early in the race) that no one thought he could do this so they let him go to burn out. But he never burned out. He just kept accelerating and riders kept dropping off.
Does anybody else in the country follow the Tour? In Texas, you are used to watching it because of Lance....

I have watched the tour religiously. It is a shame it is not covered more by the sports media. My guess as to the reason is there is not as much money in the sport when compared to football, basketball, etc. even though there is greater participation?
