A few people have asked me how I feel about the Tour.  Well, my thoughts are that it hurts very badly.  I truly can understand how a lot of people are upset and confused.  This sport has done so much for me and it is a part of my life.  I love cycling, cyclists, and fans.  I still believe in this sport and the goodness that can come from it and I hope other people will as well.  There are good and honest cyclists out there. My hope is that more people can take this as a positive experience and believe in the riders who want to keep the integrity of the sport.
