But Armstrong's times up L'Alpe de Huez suggest otherwise...and I would
submit that comparing a rider to themselves on a long or steep uphill is a pretty good test of fitness. Andy Coggan "Daniel Connelly" wrote in message ...

By the L'Alpe metric, Ullrich is also suffering from old
age, then, as his time was substantially lower than either 2001 (IIRC) or 1997. L'Alpe seemed to me a case of Armstrong marking what he perceived to be his rivals at the end of a long, hot stage. Times in general were slow that day. Maybe Armstrong is slower this year. I just don't think the race has clearly demonstrated it yet.
