Impressive cyclist, questionable as a human being. I admire his ability as a cyclist. In that he is still hard to beat. But as human being, I still have not forgotten how he divorced his wife, the woman who stood by his side during his bout with testicular cancer, for Sheryl Crow, then threw Sheryl Crow away when she announced her cancer. His foundation has done wonderful things, there is no doubt about that, but I have a hard time separating his personal actions from his athletic achievements. That's just my opinion.

It sounds as if the coverage was pretty sophomoric. Lance kicking it for 10miles with a flat....impressive, maybe he could have shaved another 10-15 minutes off if he had some sealant prepped tubes....probably running USTs huh? Impressive results for all. What Wiens should have said: “WTF kind of questions is that?” and then proceeded to wrestle the mic from her hands and stomped it into the ground.

The live coverage was mostly just two people standing at the finish line talking about the race. I saw Lance for about 15 seconds after watching for a couple hours. You can watch the coverage online for the next 90 days if you purchased the $5.95 live feed. If I get some time I may go back and see if I missed anything. At least I'll be able to fast forward the boring parts :) @TheHammer,
