choke on this


holy shit did you see that ride by floyd landis today? few athletes manage to cram shit down the throats of their detractors the way landis did today. if youre following the tour de france the way you should be then you would have seen floyd crack yesterday and lose a whopping 8 minutes to the race leader oscar pereiro. the hundreds of reporters covering the tdf pretty much wrote landis off yesterday saying he was definitely out of contention for the maillot jaune. today he made a tremendously gutsy attack with 130 km left to go in the stage and completely destroyed the peleton winning by 5:42 ahead of the second place finisher. hes now in third place overall only 30 seconds behind first. im guessing he will be in yellow by the end of saturdays time trial. meanwhile im trying to figure out how he managed to haul his giant balls up and over the alps. this is definitely the most exciting tour in the last 6 years.
