Hi
Guys I’m following the tour of France but I’m not quite clear about all the rules yet, so I hope some of you tour of France experts could help me out here.
I thought that the last stage was going to be a stressful one for Armstrong, because Basso with 4’40” and Ullrich 6’21” were going to attack to try to make up the difference and take the tour from Lance, so I woke up early to see the battle and to my dismay all I see is a joy ride
And everyone congratulating Lance for his 7th victory.
Did the contenders give up the fight at the last stage because they know they can’t make up the time to catch Lance?
Or there is another rule I didn’t know of?
Thanks.
Alex
