They probably won't run the Tour de France this year, because of it. It's a pretty big deal.

The cyclists were on a two-lane road outside Visalia a few miles into the race when a rider in the main group skidded on some gravel and fell, causing others, including Armstrong, to crash. Armstrong resumed riding but had to quit the race because of his injuries.
"I tried to give it a go but my eye was swollen so I couldn't see properly and the pain in the elbow prevented me from holding the bars for the remainder of the stage," Armstrong said. "It was a relief to learn there were no breaks. I will take a few days to recover and be on the bike as soon as possible."
his eye looks horrible

Botto what you fail to grasp is that without Lance the TdF is irrelevant. Prior to 99 the TdF was an obscure bike race held in a backward little country that isn't even as big as the State of Texas. Now with LA's Tour presence in doubt the race will once again fall into black hole of niche sports all over the world...like the Football World Cup.

"Greg who?" says the 99er to the 80-somethinger.
"Lance who?" says the 15er (http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/05/news/taylor-phinney-wins-olympias-tour_118018) to the 99er.
