Right, and the fact that he gets tired does put him in a favorable
light when it comes to what is killing pro cycling, i.e. doping !

Well there you go, he put that experience in the mountains
to work in the time trial!

No he's not. He's making a strategic play to attack from the rear, by
proving (in losing) that he's not doping. He's probably scared out of his
mind that, if he has too good a day, people will suspect him!

So how does one definitively lose (to prove a point) and yet win the race
overall?
