Armstrong doesn’t win the Tour de France

Alberto Contador, known best in America as Lance Armstrong’s teammate, won the Tour de France Sunday. It was his second victory in the race, having also won it two years ago.

Is finishing third at 37 more impressive than winning it all at 26? Eh, I don’t know. They were both impressive, which, you know, you can usually say about podium finishers on the Tour. Personally I’ve had more fun this year badmouthing Lance, probably because people get so mad about it, but it’s pretty unbelievable he could jump back into it like that.

Well, I got nothing else, but didn’t think I should let this pass by…

What?! Badmouthing Lance?! I don't really follow cycling (who does?) but Armstrong is nothing short of a sports hero. What don't you like about Lance?

See how easy it is? Usually I would bring up drug accusations and wonder why he didn't stay retired if he couldn't win, that kind of thing. Good times.

All I can say is I'm 30 and the bike to work scares me, so I gotta give it up to Lance, although maybe the right combination of drugs would get me to work? Hmm.
