I was approximately 25kgs over my competitve cycling weight when I did that route back in 1995.
(today, 10 years later and having been back on the bike actively for the last few years, I am only about 10kgs over my competitive weight of 1990).

It's the male gland that is in the crotch area. Normal humans have two of them. Due to cancer Armstrong has only one. Apparently Ullrich has none.

Strategy?

They get down on their knees and pray for a miracle.

I continue to believe that TM will be mismanaged post-Godefroot's departure. Kummer is not a good strategist, and I don't know how effective Olaf Ludwig will be when he is added into the mix.

Part of failings of the TM strategy are the failings of the TM strategists.

Well, Godefroot is his usual helpful self to his team (before today):

""The ways of trapping Armstrong are rare, even inexistent," agrees T-Mobile team-manager Walter Godefroot, who admitted during the Alps that his [TM] team "was just not any good." "His team-mates and him ride perfectly," continues Godefroot, "but we're there to try, so that, at least, we have no regrets at the end."
