August 17, 2006

Well, after a great spring and an equally dismal Tour de France, Tom Boonen is showing a return to form by winnint the first stage of the Eneco Tour of Benelux. Tom says taking a little time off helped:

“After a rest period, I’m already winning again.”

Floyd Landis’ father-in-law dies

August 17, 2006

The San Diego Tribune is reporting that the father-in law of Floyd Landis is dead of an apparant suicide. David Witt, 57 was found in his car yesterday. From the Tribune:

Witt and Landis first became friends when they used the same cycling coach and became roommates in 1998 shortly after Landis moved to San Diego.

The two later became related after Witt introduced Landis to his girlfriend Rose’s daughter from a previous marriage, Amber Basile. The two couples married, and the former roommates were best men in each other’s weddings.

Floyd, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
