It is make or break time, yesterday (Saturday) the race hit the Alps, it is on the BIG climbs where the race is won & lost.
Lance is still in second place, however he has lost time. He was 1 second behind the leader, but after yesterday his deficit is now 2 minutes & 37 seconds. That in the Tour de France is a large gap. Sadly I missed it on the TV yesterday, and forgot to set my video. However, today the race finishes on L'Alpe d'Huez, a big big climb, this is where Lance has to stamp his authority. I won't miss this one. By the way, the current leader is Richard Virenque, a very good climber, he won yesterday's stage, Lance was 15th some 4 mins 6 secs behind Richard. I am rooting for Lance, but it ain't gonna be easy, good luck, mate
