Road Cycling - Lance is the man

Perhaps this doesn't belong in this room, but I cannot help myself from refraining from writing this. Incredible, the adrenaline flowing from the accident, and the determination that Lance had on his face is epic. I just hope that he can continue in his quest, and that no one else gets hurt.

They are incredible athletes, all of them. Lance did admit he was getting close to the crowd, but I cannot understand why they let the crowd get as close to the riders as they do.

Anyway I am proud of him, and guess I am a bit biased since I am an American. Go Lance!:beer:

Luckily he was able to recover.

A fall from six feet can kill a man, he should be wearing a helmet (just trying stir the pot, hehe).

I think after meeting Arnold he became inspired!

Seriously, no doubt about it, he is the MAN! That was the first time I have ever seen him attack, how he can stay out of the saddle so much is beyond me.

I think that fall was the same as tugging on superman's cape.

yes. we should all start wearing helmets, if we are planning on walking anywhere. If we fell and magically somehow landed on our head (same thing as a 0mph fall on a bike) we could get killed.

Dont leave the bedroom without it!

How can you control 600,000 people every day over almost 200km?

Lance is so cool. He finally got his motivation I guess.

ya the crowd was getting in front of the cars and the riders im shocked that no one tried to stop the riders.
