Default Leadville 100 - Amazing!

[SIZE=2]Ok, so its already old news, but I just wanted to say that both Dave Wiens AND Floyd Landis are "Super Bad"!

Dave for repeating yet again, and for Floyd coming in 2nd, less than 2 minutes behind. My "jury" is still out on Floyd and his Tour "win" last year, but there is not doubt he is pretty amazing.

Oh yea, and this was the first time Floyd had ever raced the Leadville 100.

"Landis, riding on a surgically repaired hip, told The Associated Press that he crashed about an hour into the race. At the finish he sported scrapes on elbows and forearms, bandages on three fingers and blood-soaked gauze swaddling one leg from just above his knee to his hip."

C'mon now, give credit where credit is due. The guy just gets back into biking and comes in second to what some say is the toughest 100 mile off road endurance race there is in the USA. Floyd just plain kicks ass. Flock the french and their accusations.

Remember if it wasn't for the US the French may still be under German rule.

I have been to France and those people are F'en rude. I will never go back their again.
