So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
Music is my saviour / and I was maimed by rock and roll / I was tamed by rock and roll / I got my name from rock and roll — Jeff Tweedy, Sunken Treasure |

Alpe D’Huez is steeped in history, the site of so many historic moments in Le Tour that it has become the stuff of legends. Last year’s time trial (the first up this mountain road with 22 leg burning switchbacks) was, perhaps, Lance Armstrong’s greatest single moment of glory, in a career with many to choose from.
This year is no different.
When Floyd Landis took the yellow jersey, only to lose it a couple of days later people questioned it.
Floyd was just resting. Letting legs recover.
Today, placing fourth in the stage, Floyd has once again assumed the lead, gaining over a minute of time on his most serious competitor.
Le Tour, thanks to a spanish drug scandal, seems once again destined to be won by an American…and once again victory has been proclaimed at the summit of Alpe d’Huez.
