What They Can't Take Away From Me (and Lance)

Armstrong Comes Clean … Sort Of

If you've been a naughty public figure in America, and all attempts at damage control are failing, you will inevitably be called to the principal's office.

Tour de France 2012: Stage 16

Pau-Bagnères-De-Luchon 197 km (122 miles). Two HC category climbs and two category 1. All in all, a tough day in the Pyrenees, but it's going to be these last stages that will determine whether Bradley Wiggins (Britain) will be the first Englishman in yellow, or whether someone else will steal the title away from him mere days away from Paris.

Tour de France 2012: Stage 2

Mondya's stage is in Belgium, starting in Visé and finishing in Tournai. The total distance of the stage is 207.5km (129 miles). An incredibly flat stage, save for one category-4 climb around the middle of the stage, but nothing big enough to trip up the anxious sprinters, of which there are many this Tour.
