Default Lance Doesn't Deserve Yellow Jersey

In 8 stages he has yet to win one. All he has done is hang with the
pack. Since the tour is foolish enough to let so many riders get the
same time it allows underserving riders like Lance to wear the yellow.
And you fools claim he's an ywhere near as good as Lemond and the real
greats

It's called tactics. But in any case, you're wrong (check Stage 4).

Yes, he definitely is.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if he turned out to
actually be Lyndon LaRouche? hmmmmm ...

You're right, he doesn't deserve a yellow jersey. He deserves a closet full
of them.

Oh wait. . . .



he HAS a closet full of them.

I'll resist the temptation to call you a complete idiot. Your post,
however, is quite idiotic.

"Discretion is the better part of valour."

Lance lets other riders take small(er) victories, sprints, climbs, stage
wins.
He's in it for the overall win and isn't taking chances that might put him
out of the race.

Look at some of the other riders that have been dropped. I think someone
broke a collarbone today and Zabriskie was dropped. While I won't take away
from Zabriskie's TT win, there are a lot of days left on the tour and he's
not going to have a chance to win any other jerseys. Lance keeps going, and
going and going...
