<p>I know there are some TDF fans here, so I thought I’d kick things off. :)</p>
<p>The Armstrong debacle didn’t ruin the Tour for me, as I had feared. It’s so much bigger than one star, or even the doping/drugging scandals. The beauty of France, the strategies and rivalries, the peloton and the sprinters and time trials – it hasn’t changed. </p>
<p>For us mountain-stage fans, this year’s Tour is going to be epic.</p>
