Touring Sans Lance

It looks like the American domination of the Tour de France will continue for the eight year in a row. There hasn't been as much coverage since Lance is out, but Floyd Landis is set up to win it all tomorrow. He regained the lead today by 59 seconds and baring any unforeseen events he should win it all. As with all great sports victories Landis has dealt with a bad hip for the entire tour. He is scheduled to have his hip replaced as soon as the race is over. Endurance athletes, who can understand them?
