Tour de Lance

The Tour de Lance, er France, started today with the first individual time trial. Lance Armstrong finished 2nd in today's stage by only 2 seconds, and in a pretty remarkable feat of cycling passed one of his biggest rivals who had gone out of the starting gate 1 minute ahead.

Although I'm a big motorsports fan, I have enjoyed watching the Tour the last couple of years. There's an amazing amount of strategy and teamwork involved in big-time cycling. The Tour runs through July 24 and may well result in Lance's seventh straight win. It'll be fun to watch.
