Yeah, we are really lucky that Lance's team is SO strong. I really wished that Heras could have taken the stage today. If it weren't for that darned Beloki! Actually, it looked for a while that Beloki would give Lance a run for money, but...as usual, Lance was just biding his time.
I sware I was on the edge of my seat this morning watching this last stage. "INHUMAN!" I say. I hope we will see Heras get his well deserved stage win soon.
I noticed that Beloki had more team mates with him at the front of the Peloton today. I think he was going for a similar strategy. And, I noticed that he really didn't break out like he did yesterday. But, once Lance kicked it up, Beloki lost his team. I think in order for Beloki to be a real contender in this, he needs to fortify his team and solicit their protection.
Same with Jalabert. He has pulled himself up the last two stages. I hated to see his loose it in the last 10k, two days in a row. Unfortunately, with him, there isn't next year.
