Re: Dauphine thread
I just watched the etappe live on tv.........Landaluze still in yellow, botero second, leipheimer and then armstrong! (gc that is)
Botero looked very good he attacked the minute the joux plane started. Also Vino attacked armstrong with landis......but landis got dropped again and went back to the armstrong group. After a while armstrong attacked in pursue of vino and the whole group but levi got dropped. After while levi also dropped, but vino was allready near so levi got back again. Soooo memorable moments botero attacking very hard, vino always attacking......and sorry guys also armstrong for showing some sort of form  Btw the decent was nailbitting.........they went fast!!!!! Landaluze was flying down because he didn't want to lose yellow. Armstrong drove most of the decent after joux plane... Quote:

Re: Dauphine thread
I'll agree with all of that... Armstrong is coming into form and with Vino/Levi/Botero/Monconutie all looking good..... making for a good TDF...... have to say Landis may not have it..... we will see of course ! Great racing !

Re: Dauphine thread
Btw when vino/landis attacked armstrong left all the work to levi........He probably figured that levi wasn't strong enough so he attacked...........

I thought Landis went with Vino on the attck. He must have blown sky high or been told to sit up because Botero was going for the stage and maybe GC. But what would have been the harm in marking Levi and Lance. Floyd must not have had it. What about tomorrow? This race is producing some unexpected tactics, with all the tour guys looking at each other like, what me? I"M not gonna chase, how bout you? |

Re: Dauphine thread
Very good, question is: is he not peaking to early??
No doubt DC, T-Mobile, CSC need to watch him. His problem from the past (maybe it is gone, I doubt it) is that he was inconsistent. Like 2002 ventoux..........gone was botero....to win the next day again. If he wants to win everything must be perfect! Quote:

Re: Dauphine thread
Final stage with Hincapie and Popo out on the break, looking for some time so that Discovery can take the team classification perhaps?

And on a completely different note, what the hell has happened to LA's poker face? All the pictures of him on the up hill have him pulling a pained face. I though he tried to keep his face blank to get at his opponents? |

Re: Dauphine thread
That was a good finish by Discovery, got them the team classification and Lance got points classification so a pretty good Dauphine for them.
All congratulations have to go to Landaluze though, kept his head cool and cut his time losses enough to make the win, they really shouldn't have let him get away on that break. |

Levi agrees with you, but hey, what are the directeurs sportif doing?, with their radios, and their computers in the car with files and times on each rider...I mean if the break was a problem it is up to them to tell Levi pull it back BEFORE the gap gets to like 9 minutes. Landaluze alomst won a stage last year in the tour, he came in tenth last year at Dauphine, and was eighth up Ventoux this year. What were they thinking?!? I mean Levi can SAY the Dauphine is a tune up for the tour, but he will not podium (unlike Lance when he says it is just a tune up for the tour). D-Libere would have by far been Levi's biggest win in his career. Too bad. |
