    Tour de France has started. Do you think Lance Armstrong have the chance to win his 8th title this year? IMO, Contador is still the men to beat.

    His age is against him … but he will try very hard and with a little luck he can win.

    Well I always go with Lance Armstrong and I will say this year too! He always be my hero and I think he have freedom this year compare to last year when he supported Contador. Both are best racer on Mountain stages which I like most to watch.:)

    I think that he is too old to win the game so it is so hard foe him to win but not impossible.

    This years tour is very hard and three days in, there has been carnage in the peloton, crashes after crashes but there is long long way to go to Paris. Is Lance good enough to win 'yes' will he win, not likely if he gets punctures like yesterday in stage 3.

    But you never know this tour has all the makings of one of the great tours of all time - it is great to watch - as for TeamRadioShack they are as hard as nails :cool:

    Yes I think Lance's team will improve their performance once we have mountain stages as they have some of best climber who helped Lance to win races for years like Levi Leipheimer, Yaroslav Popovych and Sérgio Paulinho.

    Day 4 - stage 4 - Cambrai Reims 153.5 km I am watching this live they have just started good roads today, and only a short stage a day for the the sprinters - the big hitters will take it easy today - Armstrong - Contador - Schleck - their teams will be taking care of them in the peloton


    Maillot Jaune today the hugely popular Fabian Cancellara - Team Saxo Bank

    Yes and I will love to see Mountain stages where we will get idea who lift the Yellow T-shirt and I think Lance will do his best to grab it! I love both Lance and Alberto but I always support Lance.:)

    Four days straight of mountains stages will be interesting to watch. Yesterday race, no attack from the big name yet. For today's race, with two Categories 1 climb, this is the best time for them to start attacking and winning.

    Maillot Jaune is wear by Sylvain Chavanel today. :)

    I have to say that Lance is now almost out from race and now he will supports Levi Leipheimer who are ranked 8th with + 02' 14" behind to yellow jersey and 01' o3" to Contador.

    Yeah... Supporting Levi Leipheimer is the best thing he can do for the team. Lance just had a bad, bad day. But with 2 weeks to go, what happen to him, can also happen to someone else. The Tour not yet end before the rider reach the last stage. :)
