Never give up...never surrender

I suppose that phrase applies as much to barbarians like Quasay and Odai as it does to heroes like Tyler Hamilton who won his first TDF stage today, broken collarbone and all. After breaking away VERY early, he held to about a 5 minute lead for most of the day. Unlike every other long solo break, he was not reeled in by the peleton, but managed to hold on for the victory. He's close to 3rd place now, and how sweet it would be to have two Americans in the top three of the TDF on the podium in Paris next weekend!
