A friend just called me and told me to turn on the Discovery Channel. I didn't have to change channels once the TV beamed on, since Discovery is the most worthwhile TV today.
I didn't learn much that I haven't heard or read already on the subject, but some of their sights and sounds were rivetting. Lance does say this will be his last Tour. Looked a bit teary eyed.
If you're into cycling, or are after some fresh inspiration, make sure you catch this. It explains in fairly simple terms the incredible behind the scenes process of Tour De France preparation, including the aging of tubular tyres in wine type cellars. Lance will use a 7 year old tyre for his prologue, for example.
"Excuse me, what vintage is this tyre please?"
