I've been in Davis since Wednesday evening. My son was swimming in the Junior Olympics and we stayed in a hotel that did not have OLN. I wasn't too worried about it because on the evening I left Landis had cracked and lost 10 minutes. No American had a chance and so I was ok with missing the last week of the tour.

So, I'm sitting in my hotel and I swear I see Landis' name go across the bottom of the screen showing him in 3rd and trailing by only :30. That's impossible though, absolutely impossible. I must have seen it wrong. I call bluegoose and he informs me that I've missed the most exciting stage in the history of the Tour. IN THE HISTORY OF THE TOUR!

Amazing that he pulled off the TDF win. Every article I read on the day after he cracked absolutely dismissed any chance of him winning. I completely wrote him off that day. It certainly has to be considered one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. And of course, I missed it.
