Lance, Landis, Legends

I've been following the Tour de France this year as much as I could, though with seven-time champion and cycling legend Lance Armstrong retired, the race hasn't been all that inspiring. Until yesterday when American Floyd Landis, a member of Armstrong' team for years, rode the race of a lifetime and legend, a stage win that may be the single most incredible day any rider has ever had in the famed bicycle race. I'll let you read all about it:

The foolish, but inspiring, risk of Floyd Landis

And it happened on a day that some headlines said this: Landis abandons all hope.

Update, The July 23 New York Times explains the how Landis achieved such an amazing one-day turnaround.
