Greatest Stage Ever
In what Phil Liggett described as the greatest stage of the Tour de France ever, Floyd Landis, the American with the bum-hip, won today's stage and made up an eight-minute deficit to come within thirty seconeds of the overall lead. If you've been following, Landis bonked on the stage yesterday and lost the yellow jersey and over eight minutes. Base10 sort of counted him out then, but he showed a lot of heart today. With tomorrow's relatively flat stage, most riders will try to conserve their strength for Saturday's time trial. Remember, that Landis came in second in the first individual time trial--and only came in second because of a mechanical.

And Lance Armstrong thinks that Landis must win to keep the sport popular in the US.

In baseball, the Mets lost last night's game 7-4 in spite of being ahead 2-0 before a long, long rain delay. The boys are currently playing the rubbr match in a get away game and are ahead 2-0.
