Vande Velde's Tour: Venga! Venga! Venga!
JULY 24 - Saturday night. The mini-bar is out of beer, I'm hungry, kinda buzzed and ready to go home. Lance smashed everyone today. Jeez, men and boys … well, a few big boys and then the rest of us pre-pubescent kids. Impressive. First the Postal team.

Tour de Tech: Questions about Clothing, Giants and that little bag
JULY 23 - Dear Lennard,
Here’s a question. There was some hype about Lance’s specially developed skinsuit (Project 1 as seen on OLN) with wind tunnel testing and so forth. Special light jerseys for climbing and so on. How does that factor in when he’s in the yellow jersey? Does Nike have to submit s... | » Jul 22: Tour de Tech: Product failures at critical moments

Chris Carmichael Diary: He did it his way
JULY 25 - Lance Armstrong never stops learning, and the 2003 Tour de France taught him what it’s like to struggle. He’d battled back from cancer and adversity before, but hadn’t struggled like that during any of his four prior Tour wins. Last year, Armstrong never really had full control of the race, was ... | » Jul 24: Chris Carmichael Diary: Postal power
