Who cares? Once Lance is done, in the US the Tour will revert to the obscure status it deserves.

No way, to win in Paris is very prestigeous. For French riders it is their big dream, so expect a hard fight.

Hard fight? Against the French?

Hard fight between many French riders and others. Lance will probably just cruise in behind without taking any risk.

The fact that they tried to rig the course this year to stop Lance from winning, in my mind, completely validates that it's a non-event.

Still I advice you to go there even if you don't like the sport, I was there with a guy who was totally uninterested in cycling but he still thought it was an incredible experience.

"Long after my victories are forgotten the Tour will live on. This great race is greater than any of the riders."
