Says his hip is pretty much shot. And he's in constant pain when he bikes. This could hurt his tour chances, obviously. But Landis is as tough as nails. But so far he's #2 in the Tour, and the American most likely to win it all. (Big George is 2:30 back, which hopefully he'll make up in the mountains).

All i got to say is, go America! I hope some American wins it, but I wouldn't be unhappy at all to see Aussie Robbie McEwen win (he's 5:50 back overall, not good, but winning stages).
