Role of Heras?

[User968758]

As a newbie, can I ask a question and get a cordial reply (w/o being called a troll, or a dumbass,
or the usual epithets that are common here?

In last year's TdF, Heras led Armstrong through many of the mountain stages. He doesn't seem to have
been anywhere near as visible in this role this year. Has his role on the team changed? Comments?

Pay attention dumbass, he's been sick...

Glad I could help, Ray

No role change; he just hasn't had the same form, a bit like his captain. It happens; good thing
they picked up Beltran.

Some people just aren't worth bothering with. Killfile for you, nitwit.

You are asking too much. No question, no matter how relevant, gets off without a few insults.

He was around, but this year there are more climbers on the team to share the load, so he is
"resting". He probably has his sights on the Vuelta and is just along for the ride and to
contribute, as necessary, towards Lance' win.

He was reported to be ill and had started to take antibiotics. With two rivals within 18 seconds to
Lance in the Pyrenees, I hardly think Brunell would have Heras "resting".

You missed, or forget, Alpe d'Huez. He was stellar then, blasting all he had at the lead group,
recovering his breath, then recovering his position. I think he did three attacks on that climb for
LANCE. Word is, he's sick and noodling now.
