Mayo 2nd in 15th stage - bad style?
Mayo took 4 seconds from Ullrich by finishing 2nd today.
After Ullrich waited for him and Armstrong. Mayo gained some Euros, the seconds are irrelevant - for him. Not for Ullrich. Woundn't it have been better style not to outsprint Ullrich after the crash and the wait? |

I think so, especially since Mayo sucked his wheel the whole way up. D. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Euskatel are after the highest Spanish team prize Mayo would have lost nothing in this competition crossing the line as 3rd. 4 seconds are nothing in the best team classification by now. |

Nope. Mayo is too far back for 4 seconds to mean anythying. Bad form to
cross before Ullrich. No respect. "Steve McGinty" wrote in message ... On 22 Jul 2003 05:32:39 -0700, (Martin Recker) wrote: "Willowbeauty" wrote in message .. .

From: Keith
HTF can Mayo hope to be on the podium anyway. He's got no chance. Well, we already saw Daddy Yo-Yo fall down go boom. It's been a year for that. With a TT and a mountain stage left to go, Mayo is in 5th by 11 seconds to 4th, to 3rd by 2:40 (math approx.). Every second still counts. I don't think he has a realistic chance either, but in his place I'd probably do the same, despite the payback factor. --Tom Paterson |

But they could be a lot when the podium is decided on Saturday. Let's see: Mayo will lose 3 minutes on Vino on Saturday and 5 minutes on Ullrich. HTF does he want to make the podium. Gerrit - hoping that Mayo will lose 3'52 minutes on Lance ;-) |

Good thing Lemond wasn't quite so flippant as you over a few seconds wasn't it? |

Put it in the perspective of Monday's stage - Mayo didn't know how much time Vino was going to lose - so every second counted, as far as he was concerned. Regards! Stephen |
