... I've heard Lance say that if he can't win the tdf, that he would quit. If it becomes evident in the next couple of stages, that Lance can't win, will he quit? I don't think so. I really hope not. |

His (Lance's) overall lead has increased 13 seconds or so as of today.
The only difference is Ullrich is in second instead of Vinokourov. Second place on back doesn't matter in the big picture. Why would LA want to burn himself out? I say he is being conservative. The big question is ...Did Ullrich get spent trying to win the stage like Patacchi did after that big sprint? Will he have enough to stay in contention while racing through the mountainous stages?

Hey it was a question! Apparently you think Patacchi is a crap rider...
Don't put words in my mouth! I won't in yours... Getting spent is a serious matter and no matter how much we don't want it to happen ...it happens to good people too...It can even happen to Ullrich... So don't think anyone is invinceable... I am sorry I fingered your hero~! NS |

Lance did NOT lose considerable time today. He GAINED time.

Real question - will Jan fall off the wagon? We all know what a slave he is to vice - didn't Krispy Kreme just open in Tooloose? The man just can NOT say "no, danke" to a donut. So tonight he'll probably sneak out of his hotel, go scarf down a box-o-fritters, a few bratwursts, and a couple liters of Berliner Weisse to wash down the uppers. Then he'll make a crack pipe out of a toilet paper roll and veg-out in front of MTV with a back of Doritos. He'll climb the Pyrenees like a slug in January. Nice try though Beauty Boy Valer. -- Check out my bike blog! http://diabloscott.blogspot.com -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

Have to agree with you there. He already proved he could gain time on
Ullrich in the mountains - tomorrow through Tuesday we should see more of the same. "Hank Sniadoch" wrote in message ... Lance did NOT lose considerable time today. He GAINED time.

Lance looked spent and Jan looked like he'd had a good workout... NS |

People were talking about how maybe Lance was saving himself but Jan pushed to his limit (on the assumption that he needed to do that to win) but it looked the opposite to me. |
