I think the strategy was aimed at the fact that he's aging- get into
yellow early, finish high enough to keep yellow in case you don't win
a stage. He's not quite the presence he's been in previous years- i
don't mean in terms of how good or whatever, but he's not even as
interesting to watch. I don't think he cares that much this time
around.
On another note, I think it's kind of interesting that Lance doesn't
like heat. He's from Texas, you figure he'd be used to it. ANd yet
Jan, who's redheaded and freckled and from east germany, loves the
heat. Go figure. I once remember Stuart Ogrady saying how he loves bad
weather at paris roubaix, and yet he comes from a part of the world
where it's sunny and almost never rains! OTOH maybe that's
WHY...personally I like the heat but lately it's been so sticky when
you ride it's like trying to breathe through a straw!
