TdF Update: No More Gifts

Lance Armstrong won again today in the Tour de France in spectacular fashion, taking today's 17th stage with a final sprint and catching German cyclist Andreas Kloden just 25 meters from the finish line to win by half a bike length.

The stage win was the Texan's fourth at this Tour - matching his previous best in other years where he also dominated - and perhaps the most incredible. He literally snatched victory from German Andreas Kloden at the line, pedaling so hard that his bicycle swung from side to side beneath him.

"No gifts this year," he said. "I want to win."

And so he shall.

If there are no "accidents" caused by the French fans who spat on him yesterday ....

I heard Bush is saying the same thing about this election.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
