Just in case you didn’t notice, Lance Armstrong is back and kicking some SERIOUS ass in Le Tour de France. After a four year absence from the sport of professional cycling, Lance is currently (as of July 16, 2009; 2:25 pm EST) sitting in third place in the GC (General Classification). a mere eight seconds behind the leader and two seconds behind teammate Alberto Contador. The current leader, Rinaldo Nocentini, is unlikely to maintain the lead once the Tour reaches the Alps (tomorrow).
I just found this great picture of Lance, and wanted to give him a big shout, letting him know that his perserverance and dedication to his sport and to fighting cancer is an inspiration with every pedal rotation!

This is my first year watching the TDF and it is just so awesome!! And to think he won this race 7 times is amazing. Lance has posted some videos here: http://www.livestrong.com/lance-armstrong/videos/
Lance was, and continues to be, amazing and an inspiration. I think he's going to win it going away.
Pardon my ignorance, but Armstrong was that man biking on the Moon playin' a trumpet?
(Please forgive my stupid comuc mood!!!)
