George Hincapie takes first stage lead in the Tour De France 06. Good for George! If he can stay close until they hit the mountains where he can gas it, he could have a chance. I'm hoping also that this is the year that Popovych from the CSC team emerges.

This certainly has to be a better a TDF than last year's drama less Armstrong farewell ride. Without Basso, it's totally up for grabs.

All I need to do is figure out how many hours my Tivo can hold.
