Le Tour de France

Yes, my guess is that Levi will become the primary rider for RadioShack. Today will be interesting for sure!

And yes, in terms of Eddie Merckx historically having been heralded as the best. The last couple of years I have heard/read the same said of Lance...that is all I was saying.

To be fair Lance has won 7 Tours, Merckx only 5...although his 5 Giro's and 1 Vuelta as well as wins in the Classic day races probably do put him ahead of Lance. Although one has to herald the achievement of Mr.Armstrong, 7 Tour wins is monumentally awesome. He's in a class of one.

Poor Bradley is struggling a little bit right now and not looking like beating or even equaling his last years position of fourth.

I heard the news about the ban yesterday on ESPN. I am not a fan of Contador, especially since the 2009 Tour. Contador proved that he was not a team player.

I believe he should be banned for two years.

Agreed, on both points.

I am quite pleased with this turn of events.

I believe it calls his other victories into question. I'm rather hard-line about drug cheats in any sport and believe that they should receive life-time bans from competition.
