xaaraI don't know if I can keep following the Tour de France. Every time I turn around, one of the main contenders, one of the men I look up to and emulate and wish to hell I could ride like is disqualified. And after a while, it starts to crush me a little, because seriously, how valid is a race in which at least three of the pre-race favorites have broken the law? It's unlikely that whoever wins would have won otherwise. I've got my five bucks riding on Leipheimer, but that's just because he's American. I wouldn't want him to win like this.
I dunno. I feel like I'm not expressing myself very well. I'm just frustrated out of my mind and sad that a sport with such a strange and interesting history, such a wide and varied following, cannot live up to the most basic expectations of those of us who watch, holding our breath, as the peloton glides as gracefully and perfectly as a bird in flight.
