Thank you Lance you did a great job thank you for the videos. thank you for the attention to cancer. if you read these blogs, which I think you might given the comments about your log hair. I hope you saw my reference to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, specifically our Sunshine Project. Just a mention from you about this would help us help kids fighting childhood cancer. Thank you again

Lance and Levi... I cannot thank you enough for hanging in there every day with these KICKASS videos for your fans... you took us on the tour with you... and every day I felt I was apart of the GIRO and a part of Astana with you..... I felt like I was sitting right on the bus in the mornings with you.... this morning even I wanted to lean over and shout "Quiet on the set" when the guys were making a ruckus, I felt like I was sittin with ya... you guys have given this tour your ALL you have been great sports considering the crazy Italian course and you have ridden classy classy rides. My hats off to you.. it has been such a special treat being your fans for this tour!!! It's been SOOO awesome to have Lance back in the Peleton.

Thank you both for taking the time to give us these videos throughout the tour. They were wonderful! Looking forward to the TDF

Well done, thanks for keeping us all up to date, using Twitter was a great idea.

We've certainly enjoyed your video blogging. It brings a new level of insight to international pro cycling and the life of Lance, Levi, Horner and the rest of the bunch.
Video tribute to Lance & Levi...

Lance and Levi, thank you for bringing us with you in the Tour. It sure was a fantastic ride and learning journey. Goodluck in your June training - train hard and safe. You know what you need to do for the TDF. Cheers!

Asta la vista team faded,Hello team LIVESTRONG!!!!!!

I am like everyone else in that I have really enjoyed watching the video and learning more about what goes on day to day. Good times ahead with the new baby and then off to the Tour.
by Bill_K on June 1, 2009 at 5:30 AM
Thank you for taking the time to provide the great videos. Sacrificing your time in the middle of a race was "above and beyond!" It sure made the race more interesting for us who are so far away from it. Best wishes on your preparation for an exciting Tour.
by larrys3 on June 1, 2009 at 5:59 AM
thanx for the videos. when you crashed near positano, the video shows you sliding across the road and hitting the cement guard rail, preventing you from falling hundreds of feet off the cliff and yet YOU DID NOT MENTION THIS. did you realize?

I think Blackberry would be a very very proud sponsor of the team...
by carpet-viper on June 1, 2009 at 6:31 AM
Us Texans are SOOO excited to see you guy's at the TDF. Form looks to be on par for TDF. Wife made a "Go Lance bike wheel" dressed in Xmas lights for front yard support.
by marknbecker on June 1, 2009 at 7:04 AM
Totally enjoyed the scenes from the back of the bus and the elimination of the media. Keep them coming!
by cjc03 on June 1, 2009 at 8:12 AM
Now that looked like an asskickin from my seat, cant imagine what it felt like from yours! so impressed with you and the team. Popo was ON! would have been great to see him win a stage. the videos are fantastic. thanks for taking the time! (understatement) it really made the race more human. cant wait for the "NEW" bus. good luck and be safe!

Thanks for coming straight to us without the filter of egos in blazers with mikes. You guys (the riders and teams) need to figure a way to get away from the SUITS and present the tours in this same manner,
streaming, live, grinding, flying, glorious, dangerous, warts and all. I think we all tire of some guy in Bristol Conn. telling us what you said, no context, the only humor his at someone else's expense. Your post after stage 16 was all anyone would ever need to know about what makes a sport so defined by time, timeless. BTW, I'm a 32 year media veteran and it's not self loathing, just watching where this whole thing is going and loving it.
by ERIOPEL on June 3, 2009 at 10:48 PM
It would be so nice to see the two of you again, with the rest of the team for the Tour de France. Thanks for the time and effort you put in all these videos updates, and kept us fans as part of your 1st Giro experience. All the best to you, Lance & Levi.
As always,
Earla R.

Loved the videos during the race. Great insights into the day to day life of a tour rider. Can't wait for the TDF. It's been said a million times by a million people but you are a special human being Lance. I have a huge amount of respect for you. I'll probably never meet you in person but if I do I'll be the one giving you the biggest hug, in a manly way, of course. :-))))))

Brill videos Lance. I live in france but you skip past me . I live in the south west. Good luck
by PennyJLo on June 9, 2009 at 11:58 AM
For sure Lance you must continue these videos for the Tour de France, they have been great

Dear Lance and Levi,
Congratulations on all your hard work. Please don't forget about your biggest fans here in Mexico and come to the Vuelta a Mexico so I can see you guys race next year. You are welcome to stay in my house in San Miguel de Allende Guanajuato afterwards for some time off.
Win or lose In Le Tour, you have already won the hearts of millions of people across the globe (including myself) Take care of that Baby lance and Levi take care of those Pets.
Suerte Amigos!!!

Lance i was at the cancer center (in texas) with my dad. As i sat in the waiting room for him to get his chemo done i noticed your magazine. Your face was everywhere. I was so excited because you are one of my heroe's. I read about how your going to tour de france again. I hope you kick some butt. I know you can do it. I have alot of faith in you. with love, Ariel L. (God Bless!)
psst: when im running and want to give up, i think about how you just keep coming back. and that is what gives me the strength to keep going. thanks, keep it up your a strong person :)
