Nice line up indeed. Funny to see some names back in the peloton. Armstrong, Landis and Basso for instance. Looks like there's also going to be some nice sprints.

Good prologue tonight. Lance got a big ride off his shoulders, and looked pretty good, and finished 10th. I thought that Floyd looked really bad(90th). I'd say that Levi is favorite on hand to win, but I'd watch out for Mich Rogers.

didn't see it, sounds like a nice race though.
Do you know a good place to bet on cycling?

no, wish i did, it would make watching cycling even more exciting. I even asked old man ted,and he didn't know of one either. 5dimes did have some lines on a handful of riders for the Tour de France. They also had stage 1 matchups but didn't do it past the first stage, and don't know why. That would have bee cool for some mountain stages. The TOC continues today, 6:00 eastern

breakaway stayed away today in a downpour. I would think that Astana should be able to reel them back in this week.

I think Leipheimer wins again this week ... Astana has a very strong team, and they'll be fully supporting him, since Lance and Contador will get the team backing in the Giro and Tour.
