Oh, Floyd

I wonder what this Tour would be like if Floyd Landis had never left the Postal team (now Discovery) to lead Phonak. His boys just weren't enough to get him up the mountain in yellow today, and I don't think he'll be using those yellow tires or that yellow bike again this year. The team around him just isn't near strong enough to beat back all of the attacks coming from the other team leaders.

But if he'd stayed with Postal/Discovery, he'd surely be wearing the '1' for them and leading the team. And that team is strong enough that I think he'd be wearing that yellow down the Champs-Elysées.

i've been thinking the same thing.

it's actually hard to cheer for him because of that very reason. It looks like he redeamed himself a bit today but I'm not sure he has the team to turn it into a yellow on the Champ Elyées.
