Elvis sighted in Paris

Floyd Landis keeps the American win streak alive, winning this year's Tour de France. This was one wacky race. Team tactics (or a lack thereof) seemed to have really shaped the outcome of this Tour. Not to downplay Floyd's phenomenal comeback with the underappreciated help of his Phonak squad, but I never would have guessed that two elite teams like CSC and T-Mobile could have had such poor judgement, letting him breakaway in the last day in the Alps to essentially steal the race back.

Team Discovery had a pretty lackluster Tour, which wasn't surprising considering they've never really established a replacement leader after Lance Armstrong retired. It looks like Lance hasn't been shy about wanting Floyd back on the team. He might have to do something about those Elvis shades, though...
