om... It is clear
now. Iban Mayo is the only threat to LA. After what happened at L'Alpe
d'Huez and the stage yesterday, the contenders and pretenders have been
revealed. Ullrich doesn't look to be able to keep up with the big boys
in the steep climbs and I never considered Beloki to be a serious threat
to LA.

Ullrich hasn't even begun his tour yet, he will pick up a lot of time
in the itt (can you say olympic champion?) and is still LA's biggest
threat.


Furthermore Ullrich has been sick from stage 4, riding with a fever, he
says he's feeling better now.
