there was actually talk of Vinokurov being the leader of discovery next year. [/ QUOTE ] Who cares? Once Lance is done, in the US the Tour will revert to the obscure status it deserves.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] No way, to win in Paris is very prestigeous. For French riders it is their big dream, so expect a hard fight. [/ QUOTE ] Hard fight? Against the French? [/ QUOTE ] Hard fight between many French riders and others. Lance will probably just cruise in behind without taking any risk.

[/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] It does not deserve an obscure status. It is best sporting event that is being arranged. Not many sports where all nationalities cheer for all nationalities.
