Tour de France: Stage 19 - And News From Lance

Well, two more days and the 2009 Tour will officially be in the books. Questions abound in my mind as to what the final outcome will be. Contador and his ego making unplanned attacks to take Armstrong and Kloden off the podium. The overall riders in second through fifth place separated by a mere minute and a half. And now, the bombshell hits going into the weekend.

That's right kids, if you haven't heard already, Lance has teamed up with RadioShack for a new team in 2010. Could this mean Lance may have a few unplanned attacks of his own in the final two stages of the race? If anyone can come back to win the Tour down a scant five minutes, it is Lance. Time will tell, we'll talk more on this Sunday after the race.
