Kinda fell in love with Fabian Cancellara (sp?) after the Paris-Roubaix--talk about your cobblestones. Also Tom Boonen for the eye candy.
Mostly, I'm hoping for clean.

Yeah, that's where I am, too. I know the Lance lovefest is annoying, but it still is cool to see someone out of the conventional age bracket compete at a high level.

I would like to see Tyler beat out Cav!

I agree, too. I do wish they (VS) would focus on some of the other riders more, but I still like hearing about Lance's accomplishments. I'm interested in all of them! Since I have never been much for following sports stars or any famous type people, just the fact that I am paying attention is good.

Unfortunately, Boonen isn't riding the tour this year because of a knee injury. I hope Quickstep can have some good results without him.

yep

I would like to see someone go out on a long solo breakaway and then weep with joy when he wins.

I love that.
