Bicycling.com broke the news about that last night, with a less detailed article. When I first read it, it was like hearing about Operation Puerto the day before the Tour Prologue. Reading the Times article this morning, though, really reinforced my admiration for Floyd. The guy is like a walking Nike ad-- He just does it. And he's funny as hell, to boot! I really, really want to see him win the Tour, get that surgery, then come back to do it again next year.
