I LOVE Lance, but I really like the tour this year, because it's so up in the air. Perhaps this is the first really clean tour yet, and it's making things very interesting. I like not "knowing" who's going to come to Paris at the end of the tour. I like all the unknowns and twists and turns. I DVR it in the mornings, then watch it in the evening (better to fast forward thru commercials).
This is my favorite tour so far, but I do miss that amazing cyclist (Lance, of course).
