PARIS (AP) -- The craziest Tour de France in memory ended Sunday the same way the last seven had: with an American wearing the yellow jersey, this time with a Landis instead of a Lance.
After stunning feats of willpower and woeful cracks of concentration, Floyd Landis' arthritic hip held up and he held on for the ceremonial ride over the cobblestones of the Champs-Elysees.
"I kept fighting, never stopped believing," Landis said after leaving the winner's podium with his daughter, Ryan.
But plenty of race fans surely had their doubts, especially after his wild ride in the Alps last week.
Landis had tried to apply Armstrong's meticulous strategy for winning, but that went awry when he flat out cracked in the final climb of Stage 16 on Wednesday, giving up a lead and falling 8 minutes, 8 seconds behind Spain's Oscar Pereiro.
American Landis caps stunning Tour de France with victory, a year after Armstrong
Its like the French keep watching the New York Yankees winning every world series championships. People in the US hate the New York Yankees,The Boston Celtics,The Duke Blue Devils, And they even Hate the Pissburgh Steelers.But the French dont like us.But the French couldnt even win the world cup SO CHOKE ON THAT FRANCE!
PS France Theres FIBA World Championship 2006 comming up in Japan why dont you try to beat us in that?
