T d' F
Don't know if any of you (except Ian) have been following the Tour. I (sadly) didn't witness this, but American Landis made one of the greatest sports comebacks of all time, after being written off completely. On Wednesday, he utterly failed in an Alpine climb, dropping 30 seconds behind the leader, which I guess is an eternity in this contest. But the next day, instead of giving up, he raced ahead of the pack early and ended up closing the gap to 3 seconds. This is the guy with a bone-grinding (literally) hip problem, who will have major surgery after the race. Hard not to root for those guts.

Drew is watching it on one of those all sports channels. Yes it is amazing how strong the human spirit can be. In some ways that rider has achieved his goal just by being there...but that isn't how he sees it I bet.
Not sure why that was posted twice.
