They are probably going over the biggest climb in the Netherlands:P

And is it unfounded? I'm not so sure.
They did say on the ITV4 preview show last night that Armstrong is being investigated back in the US (or about to be).


I don't know.
As long as all they have to prove it is Landis' word, that is unfounded. But I will admit I don't want Armstrong to be guilty and so that may colour my judgement.


Eurosport shows some of the other races, and i have managed to see some of the 1976 Paris-Roubaix (apologies if spelling is wrong).

On the Lance Armstrong thing, i spent ages reading everything i could on it. So much out there with claims and counter claims.

It does get interesting though if one looks into the health problems suffered by young US Cyclists like Greg Strock and Erich Kaiter, and who else was on the team and who were the coaches. Plus Armstrongs treatment of those who have spoken out against doping, telling Basson(i think it was him) he should leave cycling.

There is loads out there, also how could he beat doped cyclists, folk go from nothings to superstars with todays PED's, now folk will say go and read "it's not about the bike" and i have, unfortunately his weight and other things in the book aren't same as what he says under oath during the SCA trial. Scientists have even complained about the unscientific nature of his "work out" data and made formal complaints to the journal which published it.

He's obviously innocent until proven guilty in court, but i haven't even covered 5% of the stuff out there, the problem is trying to figure out who has what agenda etc.

Everything i read could be clap-trap i guess.
