Tour de France
Le Tour kicked off yesterday with an incredible time trial performance by Lance Armstrong, one of the all-time great athletes. With Jan Ullrich once again in questionable shape, the only real contenders for the overall victory seem to be Ivan Basso, Alexandre Vinokourov, and possibly Andreas Klöden, in that order. Despite the fact that Armstrong already looks to have secured his seventh title, lots of things can and will change before the finish on July 24, and I am very much looking forward to the coming stages. May the best rider win.

Although I absolutely love Eurosport and their Swedish cycling commentators, Anders Adamsson and Roberto Vacchi, I cannot say the same for their overly busy and confusing website, or their horrible URLs.
