Tyler Hamilton finished the second stage of the Tour de France despite breaking his collarbone yesterday.
It is hard to imagine Tyler can finish top five with the collarbone, but this is amazing enough. Of course, the chance for a podium of Americans pretty much ended with Leipheimer having to leave the race yesterday.
When the tour hits the mountains Saturday expect pretty much constant Tour blogging and unabashed Lance partisanship–unless Tyler pulls a miracle out. Then lots of vascillating.
And remember,
SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY (in loud Peoria Civic Center monster truck voice over tone) is L’Alpe d’Huez.
