MORE STAGE 2

       All of the riders took time to sign autographs and lots of them.  It seemed to me like almost everyone got something signed.  Everyone then started getting into their places and the course was closed.  Everyone was happy, smiling, excited and ready for the stage to get going.  This stage was dedicated to a local cancer victim and he even got to go out into the peloton and meet Lance.  Afterwards the National Anthem was sung by some country music star that I don't know and was not sharp enough to remember his name.
