Floyd Landis is my hero!
When I posted about Landis last week I was amazed by his toughness. Seriously - who can ride the Tour de France with a hip in that condition? Well Floyd can.
When Floyd had his "melt down", I was almost sick. I decided that I didn't want to watch the tour at night, because I didn't want to feel saddened again. Even with the stage on my DVR, where I could easily skip the bad moments, I decided not to watch. It seemed better to get some sleep.
After the stage today, Landis will forever be one of my favorite sports stars of all time. (Look at his picture on that link! Or how about this one: Landis showing his "fight"). I never really knew about or followed cycling when I was a kid growing up in Nebraska - only football counted anyway. But since I started cycling and following the sport, I can't remember a more exciting or more impressive ride. And by seeing the response from others that watched the stage, I think many people agree.
This article's title pretty well sums up my thoughts and feelings: Landis topped Lemond - and Lance.
Floyd (not that he reads this - but just in case) - I apologize that I told everyone on my morning run today that it was impossible for you to take back 8 mins..... I have been proven wrong once again.
You're a hero - good luck Saturday.

Here here. He turned in an outstanding turnaround and made us here in San Diego proud of our homeboy (even if technically he lives in Murrietta, which is just over the line in Riverside County).
