This is great considering nobody thought the Americans could do it without Lance, at least not for a few more years.
Lanids proved them all wrong....and with an injured hip!
"The highs and lows of Floyd Landis' nail-biter of a bike race ended without a hitch Sunday as he won the Tour de France and kept cycling's most prestigious title in American hands for the eighth straight year.
The 30-year-old Landis, pedaling with an injured hip, cruised to victory on the cobblestones of the Champs-Elysées, a day after regaining the leader's yellow jersey and building an insurmountable lead in the final time trial."
