Right now they're about 50 miles from the end of the Tour. In case you haven't heard about it, Floyd Landis did take the yellow jersey (the overall race leadership) in the time trial yesterday.This last stage, ending with several laps up and down the Champs Elysée in Paris, is ceremonial--sort of. It does count, but the unwritten rules prohibit attacks against the jersey holders. The racers are taking it easy, talking with each other, having a nice ride. Landis, surrounded by his teammates for protection, stays up front, to avoid any entanglements with others in the peloton. At the end some of the lesser lights will probably fight for the stage win, but Landis will play it safe, ensuring his victory.
