Martin Dugard: American Skin
This is a phenomenal piece on "le Tour" and, in particular, on the on-goings of today's stage (Stage 14) which, incidentally, turned out to be one of the better pure bike races I've seen in years -- and I watch a lot of cycling. The seven- six- five- four- three- two-some (decreasing as, one by one, Rasmussen, Vinokourov, Kloden, Leipheimer, Landis, Ulrich, and even Basso -- eventually -- proved unable to force their bodies to do what Lance was able to demand of his) of the "heads of state" (as Phil Ligget would have it) were actually racing. You know, like when we were kids. It was great. Tomorrow's stage could prove to be even bigger. I just hope it plays out as well.
