Has anyone got a view on this? Armstrong is now claiming that Ullrich did not wait wait for him on
the Tour's stage to Luz Ardiden. It was only when Tyler Hamilton caught up did he wait.
As I recall, Ullrich certainly did wait! I haven't seen the incident for a while now, but it was
clear to me at the time that Ullrich was constantly looking back and riding at a slower than race
pace. Okay he didn't stop, but you'd hardly expect him to grind to halt and lose his rhythm on an
ascent completely. (Actually, I think he did lose his rhythm a little, which explains why he
initialy lost so much time to Armstrong once he attacked).
I think Armstrong is being discourteous here and may be trying to ruffle a few feathers in time for
next year.
