Honestly, I don't know enough about cycling to say who I THINK will win. I hope Lance does. And actually his lead going into today's stage was larger than his lead at the same point last year. And one year he actually wasn't even leading at this point.

lance isn't the greatest cyclist, eddy merckx gets that title. yeah lance has been able to do what no other cyclist has done, but he's also put all his energy into one race. you don't see him ever riding the giro or vualta. so bravo for his 7 tour titles, but i like other cyclists who actually race all year rather than just july.

Wow... that's like blaming a baseball team that only does enough to get by in the season and wins the world series 7 straight times for not giving effort.

Ulrich is not going to win another Tour De France... he doesn't have it left in him.

I hardly think it's fair to slam Armstrong simply for not being in more races... when you win the Tour De France 7 straight times you have the right to take some time off.

if he wasn't the best cyclist ever, than more people would have more than 7 tour de frances. they don't. no one even has 6.

in tennis and golf, it's only the major events that matters. in cycling, it's only the tour de france. lance is the best, and it's not even debatable.

congrats, by the way :p

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
