i'm not sure who really cares here, but i'm a big tour freak. Lance Armstrong is my hero. Anyways, I'll give a little day by day update for you guys who can't get around to watching the tour.
Prologue... Lance is 2nd. No big boys near him. yay!

Why in the world would subaru, a japanese company, use an American CYCLEST (not even a motorsport) who runs in a french race to advertise their cars? I would much rather see Solberg on my tv any day.
But I do have great respect for Lance. Just not a cycling fan.

Well they should, and subaru could easily use those marketing dollars to tell them.

Which Solberg?
Magnar Solberg is better known than Petter to some people for his Olympic gold medals in 1968 and 1972. (He is the only biathlete in Olympic history to successfully defend his title in an individual event. He also holds the Winter Olympics record as the oldest gold medalist in an individual event.)

today's stage was liege-charleroi, lance comes in 3rd 10 seconds back. hell yeah. ullrich is nowhere to be seen, but jens voigt is a few seconds behind. starting out good for our boy
it'll get good next week in the mountains. July 21 is the big day, there's going to be a time trial (lance's best event) on the l'alpe-d'huez - the tour's toughest mountain. people have actually died riding to the top of it. the climb is 3,300 feet or so within 10 miles. some of our cars wouldn't make it.

today - stage 2... armstrong is 4th, 18 seconds behind... almost got killed in a big crash.
too bad US postal doesn't drive rx8's, huh?
could you imagine the sales boosts?
maybe then we'd get our remake of the RX3.
keep dreaming, chris

love the braaaap
I believe their talking about Petter Solberg for his rally career with Subaru. He races in the WRC and one other organization I think. Really a great driver too. One of my idols. But I'm partial to Subaru too so...

but he drives them in all his commercials!!! what do you mean celebrity endorsements aren't nessicarily true???
i bet he gets them handed to him, though. would you drive it if you got it for free? i don't think i'd drive a few things even if i got paid for it. although, everyone has their limit.
