This was the Tour when I went from liking LA to thinking of him as a royal ******.
For me that happend much sooner, the Musette bag incident where Ulrich sat up and Lance came from behind at speed while the rest were soft pedaling and blew past them.
And then had the crust to say Ulrich did not situp.
Of course I started taking a strong dislike to Lances fanboys much earlier (Dislikeing them almost as much as I dislike American sportswriters who think cycling is not athletic).
