Now that the World Cup is finally, thankfully over, we can all move on to another Euro-centric sporting event with almost no American storyline, ensuring it will be ignored here in the States: The Tour de France. You remember the Tour, right? Lance Armstrong and yellow jerseys and all that? Well, there’s no Lance this year and as you can imagine that means lower TV ratings. In fact, the USA’s best hope this year is Floyd Landis, a rider who suffers from a chronic hip injury. Cancer, arthritic hip, there’s always got to be a tragic story behind our athletes. If you want to find out more about Landis you can check out his personal Web site, and if you want to follow all the Tour action, we highly recommend the very detailed coverage being provided by Tour de France 2006.
