Interesting quote from a 16 year old at Catskills

Though he's just starting his cycling career, Ryan was well tuned into the turmoil created by Landis.

"I think there's going to be some stuff that comes out pretty soon about Lance," said Ryan, who has never met Landis. "Floyd, I don't want to believe him, but at the same time I think it's really convincing. Hopefully, he'll clean out the sport."

Looks like 4th on the stage and 4th on GC. Good to see him doing what he loves.

it is good to see floyd turning the pedals in anger once again

He finished 4th overall. So what did Orca Velo Marino offer to Floyd to go back to New Zealand? Maybe I can get him to ride for my shop team next year

He has the NASCAR look, but he could improve it with a mullet.

I wish him the best of luck. He could be the first winner of both the Tour de France and the Daytona 500, a real renaissance man.

I had wanted to post this one particular clip in this forum. It's a completely dope-free discussion.

Floyd talks about the fear and chaos of riding the Tour de France for the first time. It also covers his early career and training. Fascinating insight.

I can't imagine him ever getting to the Sprint series. He might get to the Nationwide series, maybe. But I think it's much more likely we'll see him at regional races, scraping for sponsorship. I'm not a NASCAR guy, but know some people who are, and it's astounding the level of detail that goes into it, and what the drivers go through to get where they are. People often think "how hard can it be, it's driving?", until they look into it.
