I'm looking for other Tour de France or pro-cycling fans. Particularly, now that Lance has retired, I'm curious as to predictions of who will win this year! I'm hoping for Jan or Basso, but there seems to be a ton of potentials this year! What does anyone else think?

Thinking that since the race starts this weekend, and with all the hype over the newest EPO scandal, I'm bumping this.

I really thought it already happened this year. It seems like it already did for some reason. I don't watch it, but I guess what I remember about it is from last year.

It's July 1-22 this year...The Giro d'Italia (tour of Italy) was several weeks ago, but that didn't get press in the US either...which is a shame...Lance isn't the US's only good cyclist...Levi Leipheimer, Floyd Landis, George Hincapie, and Bobby Jullich are all absolutely stellar!!
