That was pretty impressive. I've been reading the live coverage online. Wow.
What a GREAT DAY FOR FLOYD!!!![]()
Inspirational effort!!

Floyd is my HERO!!!
What an inspirational guy he is!!!! Many people would have mentally given up, what a fabulous day for him!
If its possible, Floyd has even respect from me now!

Not since Mayberry RFD have so many voices united as one, reverberating the lands with chants of...
FLOYD! FLOYD! FLOYD!
Merciful Heavens! What a tour!
Holy crap, he's back in it. I need to watch the rebroadcast later. Wow.

This really has been an interest Tour - from one day to the next you have no clue what's going to happen. I truly thought after yesterday Floyd was out and today, a totally inspired ride and he just made win this thing. The Time Trial is going to be so exciting. Geez, almost like this was all planned to build excitment!!!
Floyd obviously has some greatness in him. Here's wishes him the best on the TT.

I had a feeling at the beginning of this Tour... Everyone I talked to went on and on about George and Levi and what great riders they are. Yes, they're both great riders, as are many of the European members of the peloton. But to win the Tour you seem to need something more than just talent or ability. You seem to need hunger and rage. Floyd himself has said that he's "a fist of rage" and he proved it today.

I think it's great how much respect & admiration Landis and Pereiro have for each other.
I was hoping Sastre would get the yellow jersey today, since he's not a particularly good time trialist. So it goes.

I was practically hyperventilating at the end of the race while I watched the clock to see what the final times were!
GO FLOYD!!
At the beginning of the race I was rooting for Levi,...but after a perfomance like today, Floyd deserves this tour!
I'll look at the videos tonight when I get home. Neighbors watched it live and were so excited (they are cyclists too!).
Landis obviously had some kind of breakthrough in his mind between yesterday and this morning. My cut on it is he left yesterday on the road and began today as a new guy ready to do what it took to get the job done. AND what an inspiring recovery! Congrats to him, his coach, his team. I'm sure they all had something to do with this comeback!

You know what, if Lance had been eight minutes behind, no one would have doubted his ability to come back.
