Lance has less than stellar finish in Less Vegas Though I do not like to be one to predict doom and gloom and wish no ill will to anyone competing; Lance as predicted did not crush his competition.

This video of both the sailing canoe and the surf ski race had my blood pumping wishing to hell I could be out there catching a ride like that.
Surf Skis being 20 [...]
