Noooooooooooo! Landis pops positive for excessive testosterone. Suspended by Phonak pending analysis of the "B" sample. If confirmed, this is not good. I'm not a happy camper. Here is the report from Velonews: http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/10591.0.html

Well now we know, Floyd Landis takes this year's Tour with a 57" lead. What a great race and the finish of the last stage was exciting. Let us hope that Floyd's hip replacement surgery goes well and allows him to race again. Bravo Floyd.

GO FLOYD! He took the Yellow on Tuesday. Lost it yesterday in what appeared to be a total collapse and lost over 8 minutes and fell to 11th place. Today he is in 3rd place, only 30 seconds behind, and he won the stage! This year's Tour is great! Can't wait for Saturday's time trial.

I've been following it daily. Just haven't had anything to post. Looks like Landis is the big story, so far, of the Tour. Since this may be his last due to his hip problem, I hope he goes out on top. Looks like Team Discovery has imploded. Without a clear successor to Lance, I have no clue...

I always hated those Green Hands. After spending all sorts of good money to get to France, finding a good spot on the course, I always seem to get my view blocked by those damn things. Good riddance.

I think for Hincapie any day in Yellow is a good day. And I, for one am happy to see him wear it. He deserves his moment in the spotlight after being Lance's faithful lieutenant for all these years. Can he win the whole thing? I doubt it but I won 't be surprised if a Yank takes it this year though.

We can use this thread to secretly talk about Le Tour. First of all, OLN needs to remember who is not racing in this Tour. I saw a commercial today for their "Cyclism", which was touting Basso as a threat. Hmmmm, wonder how long that will last. Today's stage was great. Nice finish and good...

This year's Tour should be most interesting without Ullrich. I'll be curious as to which riders will actually show up tomorrow. Today a read a silly article on the MSNBC site by Mike Celizic saying that the Tour is not worth watching because with out Lance, there is no story. I guess he does...

This is just a guess but since OLN is partly owned by COMCAST, it may not be carried by non-COMCAST cable systems. After all, why give the competition money? My brother's non-COMCAST cable system in Columbus, OH does not carry OLN, for example. I wonder how OLN will carry this year's Tour...

I watched some of OLN's coverage but I keep forgetting to check on this. I always seem to forget this race is in May.
