The Finale of Le Tour de France

Landis wins it.

Disappointing tour for Team Discovery. The Americans across the entire field really didn't have a good race.

French riders look much improved - 2 in the top 10. Australia with 2 in the top 10.

Levi Leipheimer was 13th and thought going in that he would be competitive. But he seemed to be ill near the beginning and never recovered.

11 Americans wins in the last 21 tours. Landis joins Armstrong and LeMond as winners from the U.S..

Landis was a member of Armstrong's team for 3 victories.

And Landis was raised in a Mennonite family. I've learned a little about their culture from a Canadian friend through the years.
