No, I had it right.
In my prime, 6'2, 164lbs and 6% bodyfat. Had a weak sprint, but could spin most off my wheel. Then the mountains

Memph,
you can say it as often as you like where you like, but the truth is the record books will show for ever more JU was LA shadow, so far it's 5 - 1 to LA, and like the man himself says it's the Tours he beats JU in that are the important ones, coz thes guy's are 1&" in the sport right now, I have nothing but repsect for then both, and hope very year will be JU second TdF win, but every year for the past 5 I have not had to hope LA will win, I just had to sit back and admire the way in which he does it, he is a talented tactician, and has the ability to get into the minds of those chasing him, this year so him faulter, but still able to out fox the rest,
and to answer the above ? he lost about about the same amount in the TT as he did in one hill climb, you must remember the one, you know LA on the ground, the on the top tube, then the did he' didn't he wiat, not that it matters now, just check the record books man 5-1 and counting
No big deal, like I shall lose sleep over who wins the TdF......

Lance Armstrong and Jan Ullrich are both very skilled riders...but when it comes to overall excellance its got to be Lance. Why else would he be able to beat Jan Ullrich over and over again in the Tour. Once that Jan beats Lance then I will say that he is better...lets hope that doesnt happen...ever.
Ullrich will only be able to beat Lance when Lance, due to age, will no longer be able to get to the top of his abilities (which I sincerely hope is still some time away). Ullrich will never be able to answer Lance's attacks in the mountains, and he neither has Lance's race intelligence nor tactical abilities. Ullrich's "new" team is probably the best he has had so far, but I wonder whether having all the gc riders on the rooster is such a good idea. Working with more specialized teammates as Lance does, to me, seems like the better way.

Lance does this to make himself look better. Look at the other US rider that placed well this year. He use to race ith LA. Did he leave LA's team or get pushed out because LA felt threatened? What happens if LA or JU don't win the TdF? So whole debate is on personal choice.....
