VIVA LA AMERICAN!!!
Let's keep our fingers crossed, Thom. Today (Wed) is supposed to be
the toughest stage and was once (1975) the scene of an attack by a
drunken fan on the race leader, causing him to finish 2nd. I believe
I read that close to a million fans will be on hand today. Lance has
already encountered a crowd of angry Spanish Basque fans. Let's just
hope he can run the gauntlet safely. This could get ugly.
A bit of trivia...if it hadn't been for that attack in 1975, that
cyclist would have likely won his 6th Tour, the record that Lance is
now going for.
