Tour De France

Let me tell you that usually watching biking isn't what I do best but in this years Tour De France I am hooked to the television. Of course most Americans will be supporting the great Lance Amstrong or Levi Leipheimer but I think an upset will accrue. As everybody who have been watching the race you know all of the close calls that have happened. Such as in Barcelona where the man for England was way ahead and the Italian man caught up to him to win it. (I am not good with names or the perfect on the outcome of a certainty stretch of the race just bare with me) If you will look at the overall scores there isn't even an American in the top five riders. Now in stage ten after a rest day the riders are still in the mountains of southern France. In my honest oppinion i think that Fedrigo will win the whole race. He has won many of the stages so far and has been victorious in the hardest stages of the race. The current stages are the most important in the race, moving past stage nine brings them even closer to Paris and the final winner of the yellow jersey. Though they're twenty-one stages for stage ten starting tomorrow only eleven more stages stand. The riders still have to try and finish the mountain stages and many more. Even though Lance Amerstrong lives in my home state of Denver I think that seven wins is enough and that someone else will be in the spot light. I wish good luck to the riders and apologize to probably my many errors. It would just help if you all watch the race.
