OH MY GOD!!!
Vive Landis!!!
I thought yesterday was the closing scene for Praying Landis; it seemed like he absolutely fell apart, plummeting from le maillot jeune to 11th place, 8:08 down.
Today he ripped the top off the whoop-ass can and ground it into every man he passed, getting launched off the front of the peloton by his team, and steadily accelerating, shaking competitors free as he went. A truly epic ride that makes me hate Wide Open West cable just that much more because they don't carry OLN so I won't be able to see the coverage. Next year, Comcast, come hell or high water. Still 30 seconds out of yellow, but he showed today he's got the legs to take it.
Great god-damned riding today, truly a legendary performance. If Floyd dies in his sleep tonight, it will be with a smile.
MAN, I love this race.
