For the first time im actually watching it intently, very interesting. Armstrong is amazing once again although he is winning over all and hasnt even won a stage. he is amazing for what he has done.

I admire him greatly too, as I do with every succesful endurance athlete. After completing a few marathons myself, I understand how athletes like Armstrong aren't strong only physically, but mentally too. You can be strong, fast and gifted, but if Your mind breaks too easily You will never reach the top. Tough guys they are.

Even though I admire Lance alot, I still wished there would be more excitement. Ullrich with his big mouth at the beginning, speak with actions, not with words!

Half n Half MIchael is a great driver but i mean ferrari with that car was ridiculous he almost never broke down and no car errors. You put alot of other guys in the ferrari car and watch how they dominate.

Raikkonen would have been some real competition for him if the car wouldn't have broken down so often. He would be leading this year too without engine problems. Did I mention he's from Finland? :cool Keke Rosberg was the first one, then Mika Hakkinen... now Kimi, and next will be Heikki Kovalainen (You will hear from him alot in an year or two). And, those aren't the only finns in the F1 history... Did I mention those are all finns? :lol: It's really amazing how we seem to have that many great drivers, F1 isn't the only one... look at rally. Well, not this year, but "we" have been dominating there for years.

Heikki Kovalainen (You will hear from him alot in an year or two). dominating there for years.

Ya the fins are good in F1, i agree with you Kimi is awsome and with an awsome car he would be amazing and dominant. I always lean for Montoya because of colombian roots but lately hez very arrogant and just destroys the car. And who is that driver you speak of above sounds interesting.

Heikki Kovalainen is one very gifted finnish driver, been doing extremely well for example in karting-, Formula Renault-, F3- andNissan GP2 -series for years. This year he's dominating the GP2 series leading with 64 points, and on second place is another finn Nico Rosberg with 44 points. Kovalainen has been a test driver for the Renault F1 team this year, and will be entering the F1 series in year -06 or -07, they're already negotiating for his first F1 contract. Nico Rosberg may also do it to the F1 series, so then there would be three excellent finnish drivers (Raikkonen, Kovalainen and Rosberg) which would be really amazing.
