The Tour de France is currently underway, and it looks like it could be a close finish. In it’s 96th year, this year features the return of American Lance Armstrong, who is currently in second place overall. Many of this year’s racers are being subjected to daily drug tests to ensure there is no cheating going on. This has created some controversy, but the bikers themselves don’t actually seem to mind.
The current leader, Alberto Contador of Spain, is looking very strong according to Armstrong, who currently trails Contador by just under 2 minutes. With more mountain stages, most people say it’s still anyone’s race. Tour de France ends on Sunday, July 26th- who do you think will take this years top spot on the podium? Leave a comment with your prediction!











LOOKS LIKE CONTADOR. LANCE IS FALLING BEHIND.
