Why do I suddenly have a sinking feeling about #7?

Kerry is among his "kind" in Frog town.

Pretty sad state of affairs when Kerry bumps Robin Williams out of the team car.

meanwhile, back at the race...........

Actually this is the tour. The leader after today will not be passed. That is the tradition of the event. Sunday is a party and for show only. No racing on Sunday.

Not true -- the Green Jersey is up for grabs and usually it's decided by the sprint at the end.

Ullrich just set the pace at 17 km - 25:57. Top 3 are still to come.

You know Lance, I used my Italian racing bicycle to elude the commies back in Cambodia...

My chiropractor is great friends with Lance's handler at Nike. Even though Kerry is supporting him, it sounds like Lance might run in the future as a Republican for national politics.

Oh please.. oh please... oh please...

OK, I admit it... I'll be very happy if Lance runs for anything as a Republican. We'll find out eventually I guess...

Very, very funny.

. I think I'll send a note to OLN too about JF'NK.

I was feeling very relaxed watching the TDF when K appeared. Worse yet were the British announcers who must believe that Americans watching the TDF like Kerry. When they kept up their comments about his presence, at least I could come to FreeRepublic for refuge.

I think Lance looks great. Ullrich is crankin' and Rasmussen looks like an amateur. Should be an exciting finish!

Well, Yahoo UK consigned him to be a "little" man (seems in their profile, they used cm instead of m; I know I placed that thread somewhere)

I'm talking about the edits in the team car.

Has Phil Ligget said yet that Ullrich's 'turning over the big gears' will give him the advantage today? (and then watch Lance pass him on the road)

I've been waiting during this entire Tour for Paul to call Ullrich a BEAST... LOL. He does it every year!

My husband and I are both ROTFL... ;-D

KERRY PUKE ALERT!! I saw it also when OLN just showed john kerry in the armstrong chase car on stage 18 today right now on OLN.

I use to cheer for lance even though him and Cheryl had different political views....but this crossed the line....
JOHN KERRY has destoryed my thoughts of LANCE!!!!!!!

Hope he crashes today but doesn't get hurt. matter of fact crashes 3 or 4 times. there are other americans i can cheer for! anyone else agree?

Rasmussen with a flat.
