TDF Day 1 Prologue Taken By Hushovd

Norwegian National Time Trial Champion and previuos stage winner in the TDF, Thor Hushovd BARELY squeaked out the win in today's opening prologue. George Hincapie bulldozed his way to the finish for Team Discovery, and finished in the SAME SECOND as Thor, missing it by 7/10th's of a second. Last year's early jersey holder, David Zabriskie, also came out swinging and finished in third.
The BIG STORY is WHAT HAPPENED TO FLOYD LANDIS? Favored to win this year's TDF, Floyd (Murrietta, CA) MISSED his start by EIGHT SECONDS...and still finished in the top ten. Had he shown up on time, could he have won? With the top NINE riders out of the race, the American racers have a once in a lifetime chance to take all podium spots this year. If that happens, France will change it's name to Eastern Canada, and drink only wine from California. Maybe then they will drop the attitude, NOT get occupied by every major military on the planet, and produce a winning cyclist once again. GO USA!

In other race news, Jim will be pitting for Court this weekend in Colorado in effort to maintain Copurt's 200 point lead in the beginner XC class. Go get 'em guys!
