Hi girls!

I may have lost you Kim/Christine - I hope not and Veronica too! But... In my never to be humble opinion, which teams to you follow in this race? Well, first of all - since Lance isn't there it's a total bummer and I love him!! But... here is my list of favorite teams:
1) US Postal... duh...so many good riders Hincapie, Benoit (oh, he's adorable!)
2) Once - they are very strong - don't know personal riders really, just name.
3) Cofidis - Well, Lance use to ride for them and I think David Millar still does - boy, he's a cutie but I don't think he's in this race.
4) Euskaltel - just heard the name from the Tour de France - Orange jerseys - they are good too.
5) Ibanesto - Also know from The Tour but they have great riders too.

That's it. I can live that Lance isn't riding in this one. He's got alot on his plate right now with the divorce and all. That's just too bad, you know? I read his book, "It's not about the bike", and I think the guy is just hard to live with, really. They were only married for 5 years! Besides, and I'm not baggin on men that love their moms, but...he's got a very unusual relationship with his mommy and I totally understand it (having grown up with my mom alone), but...it's hard for a wife to penetrate that relationship sometimes between and man and his mother. Lance loves his mother and I would never deny him that, but when your wife struggles with you - who do you turn to? Mom or wife? I dunno.

Oh, one more thing - I've heard there is a great race that comes up in Paris called: "Roubaix." It's ridden on cobblestones! and it's in April, so when it rains - and it does - it's like a dirt bike race!! I hope it's on OLN in April - I can't wait to see that!

Love to all,
