Lance Armstrong has been having quite a time of it at the Tour De France. Yesterday, one of his main rivals fell right in front of him and he had to swerve off into a field. Today demonstrators stopped him and other riders in their tracks. They deemed that it was part of the hardship of the race and were penalized the minutes they were held up. He is still in first place, wearing the yellow jersey, but is only 21 seconds in front of the 2nd place rider.

Armstrong is trying to win his 5th Tour de France. I really think he is an amazing athlete!

He is amazing. It's disgusting what they're letting people get away with as far as trying to block people in the race.

He's only the 5th person to win 5 Tour de France races. I really admire him, has anyone read his book? I want to get it.
