Lance Armstrong, is the greatest athelete in the world. I am very, very proud of his preformance in this year's tour.

It will be extremely awesome if he ultimately beats Eddy Merckx's record and becomes the greatest Tour De France winner of all time. I truly never expected to see an American do so well.

Many years in the past people like me would bug news providers to cover the Tour better, and we would be content if an American finished in the top ten overall.

Now we have a cancer survivor and a Texan giving a new meaning to the expression, "going postal." I am very very proud of this guy. Greg LeMond and him have made me a very happy bicycle fanatic.
