Editors Desk: Lance in France
Lance Armstrong is in pursuit of another Tour de France title. We've set up a special Tour section of modbee.com, which you can reach by going to the Sports section at www.modbee.com/sports and scrolling down, or going directly to this link. We just set up the feed, so there's not much in it at the moment. But it will fill in over the next few days.

The 37-year-old Texan is second overall, but about to face his toughest test in this year's Tour as the grueling three-week race arrives in the Pyrenees mountains.

Not the only American....
These riders also need to be added to the list of American riders in the Tour de FranceL
Levi Leipheimer
Christian Vandevelde
Tom Danielson
David Zabriskie
Danny Pate
George Hincapie (who is riding his 14th Tour)

Lance is definitely the most recognizable rider, and probably the best cyclist of all time. However, the other American Cyclists need some press too.
