Just remember - anything can happen. Armstrong is in charge, no question.
But, there's still a long way to go to Paris.

Good one. If Ullrich can outlast Armstrong in terms of years, he'll have a
chance to win the Tour again once Armstrong is retired.

After Armstrong has retired, Ullrich will state that he is going for the
podium next year. He will place 2nd the following tour. This should be the
subject of some interesting discussion about which great cyclist of the past
he is most like.

Crashes or a bad day, but even when Armstong has a bad day, his bad days are
often better then his rivals good days! He's amazing! Like in the Movie (The
Babe), where Lou said of Ruth,
he's a God! But, I will stop just short of that!

No he won't. Basso, Cunego, Kloden, Menchov, Scarponi, Cioni, et al (maybe
even Voekler?) will take over. Jan partook of the winter biscuits a little
too often, and now the young guard will surpass him.

From the Official Tour webpage:

"In fact, three of the past four winners of the youth classification were in
the top seven."

So, you think Lance may have shot his wad, so to speak?

Well it looks like the Discovery Channel just made sure that Jan will be the
eternal second place. Here's the facts - if Jan let's this break mis morale
he will never again be a serious competitor in the Tour.

Don't you mean disco biscuits?
