Lance Armstrong won his 5th straight Tour de France Sunday, and for those who didn't follow it, it was incredibly dramatic. After more than 80 hours of racing, Lance beat German Jan Ullrich by less than 90 seconds. Up until the final week, Lance had two riders within 20 seconds of him and had yet to win a stage. When he finally did win a stage he did it in incredibly dramatic fashion: he was left behind on the first big climb, fought his way back on the second, crashed in the lead, caught back up again, and finally pulled ahead for the win. It was amazing. I'm really sad its over, and I'm offically hooked on cycling.
