Floyd Landis

Here are two awesome interviews of Floyd Landis, winner of this year's Tour de France. Both of these were done before the race and before he announced that he would be having hip replacement surgery following the Tour. The first is an Outside magazine article by Daniel Coyle, interviewing Landis and Dave Zabriskie, another American Tour de France cyclist. The second is a Bicyling Magazine article documenting an interview of Floyd by Dave Zabriskie. This is one of the funniest things I've read in a while, because they are both so quirky and obviously very good friends. My favorite part is where Floyd's wife has to interrupt to tell him to be nice
Dave insults his boss's intellect and Floyd asks him if he's sure
at the end they ask if they can take out the offensive stuff
It's too funny to describe.
