and so is al troutwig.

before this morning's stage troutwig in his supreme ignorance believe that floyd landis could still win the tour even tho liggett and sherwin said he absolutely could not.

and then much to my surprise bobke agreed that landis could still win and would make an "amazing recovery today". landis was bobke's pick to win the stage today.

"we are all captains," said a young bob roll when he and the 7-11 team rode their first TDF with a bang!

certainly bobke knows adversity!

allez Floyd Landis!

I have to admit that Al is growing on me.

Even a clock that does not run is right twice a day. I would be much more impressed with some non-American who had called Floyd's recovery.

Al is ok, but I just saw Bobke state emphatically (as erader posts) that "his man Floyd" would make an amazing comeback within the first few minutes of the 9pm rebroadcast of the stage.

Wow Bobke!!!
