Because of dangerous conditions the timers have given the final times early and As long as Lance finishes, doesnt matter where, he has won his 7th. Amazing Man amazing athlete.

I hope he goes for 8, simply amazing.  His teamate is also very good and if Lance does retire I wouldn't be surprised if he winds  ;D

Great accomplishment... but boy, it was a dull race! The last leg the youngsters couldn't even race anymore before the Champs-ellys

Lance Armstrong.

Wasn't he the first guy to ride a bike on the moon?

cool, glad he made it! :) VERY glad.. ;)

He is one of the main sponsors for the powerbar energy "snacks" a good customer of which my company makes great looking display racks for....unfortunately these racks can be a pain in the behind, especially having to see armstrongs face on every one of them every day basically.....

Gotta look on the bright side though, at least we don't have to redo all of the units we have sitting in the wharehouse with a different sign! ;)

I remember, last year at camp, as I was winning the "tour-de-ILC" four day bike race, watching him win on OLN in the counselor's lounge (counselor's like me becuase I'm like an adult who can also hang out with kids, so they let hook me up with the digital cable every now and then :P).

Of course, nobody else ever really had a chance to win that race... I biked three hours and mountain boarded two hours a day for two and a half weeks before that race ;D

Lance is arguably the world's current greatest and most well known athlete.  And rightly so.

I'm sure there'll be a movie out at some point.
300,000 KM/S - Its not just a good idea, its the law.
