Heras may not have crashed, but he was caught back behind
the split with Mayo ...

He ended up in the first chase group, which was quite ahead of the other groups that ended finishing 4+minutes behind.

What evidence at all (and I mean I will allow anything you
can come up with) can you specify that makes you think Tyler
can beat Jan in the Tour? Armstrong is trending backwards
(indications of slowing slightly) and Jan is showing
evidence of maturity (finally) while in the final years of
his prime (and about the same age as Tyler).

If you are just being a homer, then say so.

Pure mental toughness. I think Jan has lost too much weight
too fast, while Tyler is at a weight which is comfortable
for his body. Tyler's a hoss.

Candy-ass! You cannot make predictions now that stage 3 and
4 are complete.

Where were you last week?

I think that Tyler is using his head and Jan is using his
legs. The race for second place (barring some mishap) will
be between Jan and Tyler and I think that this is going to
be the excitment from the race this year.

I'm sure glad that I've already reserved my 12 hour Tour DVD
from World Cycling Videos.

I don't know if I'm a homer or not, but I like Hamilton's
underdog status. He doesn't seem to be getting nearly the
amount of press of LA and JU. As for his ability, I think
he will beat Ullrich in the MTT and finish close to him in
the ITT. That should be enough as he already has 20
seconds on him.

As for Lance, he will crack on one of the Pyrenean
mountaintop finishes. I guarantee the USPS camp is none too
happy that Phonak finished second in the TTT today. Deep
down Lance "knows" that Hamilton can smoke him in the
mountains.

And that's how Hamilton will win!

Note: My happy little world obviously ignores Hamilton's
penchant for crashing.
