In spite of the other thread on TdF Energy/Enthusiasm not being too high, I have to say I'm looking forward to it. There are few things in the sporting world as colorful and rich in tradition as the Tour. Sure, there's the recent crap that has me down as much as everyone else, but can you name any sport that doesn't have it's scandals? Do you think NASCAR is clean? Football? Baseball? Squeezing that little extra out of the engine, car or human, is a constant in sport. Toeing the line regarding the rules is too.
Anyway, this year's race is wide open. I'm going to enjoy it. Let's see what Levi can do, or is Vino going to have his year?
With that said, I've been thinking about the one-Tour Wonders of the '90's in light of the EPO stories coming out. Just what is the real story behind Berzin? Or how about Petr Ugrumov? Or anyone remember 3rd place finisher Zenon Jaskula? Now where did he go? And let's not forget Motorola's A. Meija fourth place finish. Out of nowhere and back again. One wonders just how they pulled those results off.
