lanterne rouge
We may have a contender for the most spectacular taking of the coveted lanterne rouge in the history of the sport. In a few short days David Zabriskie has thrown aside the golden fleece and is now reaching for the fabled red lamp. Threatened by possible elimination he was unable to linger long enough on the road to take it today. A similar performance tomorrow and it will be his. Whether he claims that prize or not, I hope to see him finish. He'll have as much of a story to tell as anyone out there. To start the race in yellow and finish in red, I don't know if it's unprecedented but it is special. Ron |

He should make a full recovery and bring some more personality back to the front of the peloton. Ron |

I now have a priceless rejoinder for someone telling me a bike-riding story that begins, "There I was..." and ending with a trip to the hospital: Hey, could be worse.
