Floyd in France


Though still very early in the season, Floyd is off to such a blistering start that he's generating a lot of buzz about what could happen in July. Fresh off his overall win at the Tour of California, he rode away from the bunch today on the first real mountain stage in Paris-Nice. Though he let his companion take the stage win, he takes the overall and now looks to be in command to hold his lead for the remainder of the race. Though Basso and Ullrich have yet to take to the start line, Floyd is clearly the dominant stage-racer of the spring so far. See the report at cyclingnews.com.
