Yoga Short Forms - The Practice

Very few race scenarios are more appealing than Paris-Nice, whose 2006 edition Pennsylvania-born Floyd Landis clinched in the biggest win of his career. This was a hard-fought battle against both determined European riders and appalling weather conditions. For the second year running, France's second most prestigious stage race produced an American winner and a rider who'll be going all out for the yellow at the Tour de France come July. An enthralling, eight-day rehearsal for the Tour, Paris-Nice 2006 demonstrates exactly why the former US Postal domestique is more than ready to follow in the footsteps of no less a bigfoot than Lance Armstrong. A stunning, knock-out attack midway through the event is followed by Landis's gutsy defense against all comers, with only a severely debilitated squad to back him up, through some of the most challenging mountainous terrain in France. Fascinating and nerve-racking in equal measures, this Paris-Nice classic is a must-view experience for cycling fans worldwide.
