BTW Brilliant camerawork! How could they know where Armstrong would jump
back on the road? Good jump too.

I beleive he does in the winter for training. \Perhaps someone would kindly
verify this.?



He didn't actually do a cyclocross dismount. The mount was better, but
he skipped on it. That's a sign of a novice.

Or road cleats.


Who cares anyway? It was a road race.

I was very impressed with what he did there, but contrary to what others
are saying, I saw little evidence of cyclocross skills. MTB skills, yes.
It's not that I care so much about Lance's cross skills as I share that
compulsive need to correct others that is so common here.
