"Regardless of what happens tomorrow or on the next day, we still have the advantage of knowing that there's a long time trial in the end," he said post-race. "But if somebody is having a great day and I can't follow the explosive riders and their accelerations...who knows what will happen? But, I might be able to follow," he added."
I am a bit suprised that Lance made this admission. But what suprises me even more is that Discovery did not try and tire out the climbers today.

Tire out the climbers on a flat stage??? The ones who would tire out the most would be the ones who are in front.
The question for me is if Rasmussen attacks, will Lance follow and risk losing his team, or will he let Chicken take some time out of him (maybe even get yellow) knowing he"ll get it back in St. Etienne and have his team with him to control the other GC threats.
Discovery did not try and tire out the climbers today.
173.5 km at 46.6 km/h is not tiring enough? (That's 30 mph for 108 miles). DSC didn't even have to ride for the greater part of the day because Davitamon-Lotto was bringing back the break.

30 MPH for 108 miles?????
Yesterday my GPS said I did 16 miles at an average of 15.3 MPH and I could hardly get off the bike at the end. But, then, I'm 60 years old.

Hey, if you had 160 guys blocking the wind you could ride....... a good 16 MPH

It was the constant French tailwind?
You don't think its a coincidence that Discovery is managed by Tailwind sports ?
