Obviously an ITT win is more important but I do agree that some recognition is due. The problem is
that not everyone agrees. As I said, the Tour archives do not credit him with the stage. I also
think it would have been very interesting for Lance if he failed to win that single mountain stage
this year. Everyone expects the GC winner to win a stage as well and he would have been able to
claim the TTT, but many would not accept that.
