Yup, been watching it every night at 8:00 when I get home. Lance is awesome but in my opinion he always makes it a boring tour. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he is winning and I want him to win but I would like to see some excitement. I'm actually looking forward to next year's tour when there will be a few people competing for the overall win. IMO this year the competition has been for second all along.

To me the best part of the tour so far was when Hincapie won a stage. I think it is awesome. As much work as he has done over the years he definately deserved it.

BTW, I'm still bitter over Hamilton not being there. I don't think he used any more drugs than anyone else out there (if he even did). He just was unlucky enough to be caught. I believe that he brought something to the tour that just wasn't there this year.

I'm glad he won. Next years going to be an interesting one with the battle for first.
