I have been riveted by the Tour de France.

Did Lance, who has a superior team, get pulled to the front by them, or did he do it on his own?

Did Ivan Bosso, who beat Lance up the first mountain stage, and was the only real contender at a minute down, going to take the lead from Lance in the mountain time trial today?

 

It was all answered today on the L’Alpe d’Huez.

Lance kicked butt and took names! He PASSED Bosso (who left the gate two minutes earlier) in the time trial!! He was the ONLY rider to do the mountain under 40 minutes! On a mountain that is straight up, on a 7.9% AVERAGE grade!

The guy is not normal.

My sister In Law Terri is going to BE THERE tomorrow at stage 17. She is going to take some pictures for me, and post them on her blog at swisstales.com

I cant wait.

VERY cool.
