Agree with Bobke..
I was thinking the same as Bobke, when he commented that Lance might have just eased
up enough to avoid the maillot jaune on the opening day. The radio contact they have certainly could have told him exactly how he stood with 100 meters to go, and he would have pulled out some extra if he wanted to. Now Discovery just rides on the backs of CSC until the TTT. Seems to me it was a strategy, not a loss for Discovery today. |

Also with 100 meters to go, you can see the time boards. It did
however look like LA might have held back a little before passing Jan, perhaps to make sure he passed him at a slightly higher rate... mind games?! |

I think if LA looked back and saw a pack of cuddly bunnies chasing him he could have pulled out 2.1 seconds in the last 200 yds. jj |

Note that they'll (DSC) be leaving _before_ CSC to the TTT, which is not necessarily a good thing (for CSC). The last to leave has usually won the TTT too. Do they have the same timecut system in the TTT this year? MJ; -- ..signature necesse est |

I was in a pre-race meeting and someone got there late that had stayed home to watch the result. When he got there he announced that LANCE had finished second. He didn't mention who won.
