Hot flashes

Lance Armstrong won Leadville in a convincing fashion and is working on/with the Governor of Colorado to bring back a major stage race to Colorado in the fashion of the defunct Coors Classic. Lance is betting that it will happen and he doesn't leave much to chance.

American sprinter Tyler Farrar (Garmin) is kicking ass at the Eneco Tour, outsprinting the likes of Tom Boonen and currently holding the overall lead. Farrar is the only man who seems to be able to hold Mark Cavendish's wheel consistently and has managed to come around him a couple of times, once for a win at the Tour of Qatar and once for a half-wheel second at the Tour de France. He was pipped by Boonen today, but he was right there! He's getting more and more confident, something Protour sprinters need in spades. American cycling just keeps getting better.
