  This is the only time that I care what the frogs have to say about anything. nbsp;  And even then,  I don't listen to what they have to say. nbsp;  It's been a bit of a subdued TdF for me this year.
 Last year,  I was able to watch all the action on the urlLink Outdoor Life Network .
nbsp;
 However,  the local cable company doesn't carry it and,  even if I were at home,  it's on a section of cable that we don't get any more.
nbsp;
 So now I jump over to the urlLink Cycling News section of Yahoo. com &
nbsp;
every day at noon,  hoping for some news of Lance and his victory.
nbsp;
 To see Thomas Voeckler in the mailotte jaune ( Yellow Jersey)  for so may days started me to worrying.
nbsp;
 I kept telling myself " Wait for the alps.
nbsp;
 Wait for the alps.
nbsp;
 And that's what I did and that's what he did.  I believe he repeated a feat from last year,  catching up with his closest competitor,  Ivan Basso.
nbsp;
 Basso had a two- minute head start,  but it wasn't enough to stop Lance.  I have to admit that I admire Lance's life right now.
nbsp;
 He gets paid to tour around Europe on his bike,  urlLink ride the best equipment that Trek has to offer ,
 and date Sheryl Crow.
nbsp;
 I'm looking for a downside but I am not seeing it.
nbsp;
 Well,  I guess there was that whole bout with testicular cancer that he had.
nbsp;
 On second thought,  maybe I'm just content to be me.
nbsp;
 I'd still like his bike,  though.
