Landis: Another American Star is Born July 22, 2006
Posted by Steve in : Uncategorized, Weblog, Tour De France, Breaking News , trackbackSoft-spoken Floyd Landis let his heart, courage and legs do the talking in the final time trial, know as the “Race of Truth”, and came out a winner, gaining 59 seconds on his friend and old teammate, Oscar Pereiro. And with the herculean effort on stage 17, (see this writeup), Floyd Landis has exploded into the living rooms of millions of Tour de France viewers as the next American hero.
I watched with baited breathed today to see if Floyd could do it and he did not disappoint! Tomorrow’s ride will be bittersweet for Landis, who will have complete hip replacement surgery in three weeks.
Vivas le Landis and Vivi Le Tour!
