Local cyclists rooting for Americans in Tour de France Despite doping scandal,
excitement is high
While local cyclists are disappointed
with the Tour de France doping scandal that has rocked the cycling world, they
remain excited about the Tour and chances of an American rider winning. A
year after Lance Armstrong ended his seven-year reign as champion, Italy's Ivan
Basso and perennial runner-up Jan Ullrich of Germany were the favorites to win
the Tour. But they were forced to leave the Tour last week after they were connected
with a Spanish doctor whose apartment was raided, yielding steroids and blood
doping equipment.
 Bikers
compete in Tour De France-style race
The first of
four Tour De France-style mountain bike races to be held in Brownsville took place
Sunday at the Trail and Field Park on West Alton Gloor Boulevard, part of the
USA Bike Race Series. "I love the sport, I do it for fun," said
Joe Aguilar, the first-place winner in the expert category. "I've been riding
since I was 22. Now that I'm 40, I try and keep up with the younger ones."
