:D

did you see the one of Tyler Hamilton? The guy is skinny!

You'd never guess by looking at these guys' bodies that they're some of the most elite athletes in the world...Tyler doesn't even look HEALTHY in that pic!

'Twas an exciting stage today. I couldn't believe it when he crashed just as he was finally going for a breakaway. Great recovery though. And hats off to Ullrich for waiting for him.

They just posted this one...SWEET!

Can you say "Oh my !@#$!@*#%!@#$"!!!!???

Look at the difference in the faces:
Jan looks like he needs another lung, Lance looks like he's on a Sunday stroll!

It was awesome! I've watched it twice already. Can't wait 'til tonight so's I can watch it again. :D

What a crazy Tour...what next?

Quality stuff.... go my mum to tape it, and found myself shouting at the TV in the middle of the night.... stupid spectators!!!

They annoy the hell out of me too. Clapping and waving flags in riders' faces. Grrrr!

jeez, look at hamiltons tan lines...I thought mine were bad!

Even looking at the veins popping out on Jan. It looks like he's pumping it hard. Lance looks, like how u said. His veins are still in, not struggling lol

Hmmmm... to me, Jan always looks like that. Sometimes, he looks completely stoic when he rides- he just has one expression no matter what. It looks like a typical Jan facial expression...

Yeah, T-Ham looks like he could stand to borrow a few pounds from that guy behind him in the picture... :D

So lance clipped some person in the crowd.....wasnt it that big dumb bald guy? Did you see the bald guy get hit, and then lance crashed and the big bald guy didnt even turn around to look?

Well I don't know if Lance or Jan is going to win le Tour, but I am SURE of one thing. Lance will LOSE the helmet-head competition. Jan had that one clinched many stages ago on points alone! Perhaps the Tour needs another jersey?

King of the helmet-head? :D

It was actually a musette that his brake lever got hooked on. In the slow-mo replay you can see it. They said some kid had it in there hand.

Actually, if you watched the afternoon replay of the tour and Frankie A's interview with Lance, Lance recalls the crash and as he's describing the realization that his handlbar is hooked by the musette bag's handle and he's going down he says just what you can read on his lips in the photo... "I realized my bar was hooked on something and said 'oh sh-t...'".

It aired with the "oh sh-t" on the first replay but it was blanked out of the evening broadcast.

I didnt see any pix in here from the #2 gallery, they had a whole second page!
