Floyd Landis Wins Tour
After probably the most exciting tour in over a decade.. Floyd Landis does the impossible... Wins the Tour, and thus keeping a new american tradition alive in France. Man.. That's messed up.
The guy lost over 8 minutes after destroying people the previous day in the mountains, then the very next day coming back to win solo over 5 minutes. Then yesterday cleaning up enough time yet again in the Time Trial to take back the yellow jersey a day before Paris.
Thor Hushovd won the final stage (and also the first).
Epic.
