Default motivation

the best tour stage in a while was when kirsipu made the long break of 10 or
so, answered every attack himself on the run in to the finsh and then waxed
them all in the sprint...

that was a studly ride.. everyone knew he was the man to beat... he knew what
he had to do and he did it...

think of that when you are training alone in the cold this winter...

that day kirsipu was like jordan on fire down by 4 points with a minute left to
play...

It was filled with great stages, like the one to Plouay.

Also, David Millar's comments after stage 13: "I was just having such
good fun out there, it was like a game of chess watching which guy was
going to do what. I was anticipating already from 60km out how I was
going to win it, that's how stupid it was. It was one of those
incredible days that only happens once or twice a year."

I thought David Millar's anticipation began in the bathroom before the
stage...

It's like they _actually_ tell us the real story!
"incredible day"..."once or twice per year"...holy ****!
"It's an incredible story".

grep for "incredible performance", "motorcycle" and anything above,
1900VAM let's say...correlate against test results one month later...
