Guys like you are the reason Armstrong got away with being a 3-week specialist.

P.S. It's not over yet. There's still some Spanish guy 9 seconds down, for example.

Yea, but can that Spanish guy TT?

He doesn't need to be able to TT.

Well, maybe not this week. :-

Actually, you make a good point. I had ASSUMED that there was a TT
later this week, and there's not. But, from reading the
cyclingnews.com story, it appears that even the Spaniard doesn't fancy
his chances. It was only his first ever pro win, and while he may have
won it anyway, Landis gifted it to him in a sense by not contesting the
sprint.

It's pretty clear from the writeup that Landis was clearly the dominate
rider today. I hope he can defend his lead.

It just occurred to me, but I'm guessing Phonak might not be missing
TH's presence all that much after all. I bet they're glad Floyd
decided to stick w/ them through the problems they had getting into the
ProTour.

You can bet your butt that he didn't "stick" with them without plenty
of financial incentives. And it now seems as though they were more than
warranted.

I'll take your side in any flamewar you get into in this newsgroup if
you promise to never use that word again. Or "societal."

You're right. I typically find it annoying when folks make verbs from
nouns. I apologize.

Does this make Landis one of the favourites for The Tour?
