Is Lance predicting problems?
In interviews with Frankie the last two days Lance said (paraphrasing here)
"I am glad we won the TTT before my cycling career is over" and when questioned about transitioning from big gears for the flat stages to small gears for the mountains "I never really had a problem transitioning before but who knows maybe this year is different" Is Lance fortelling problems to come? |

I doubt it. I am one of those that thought this year was unusual for him in his Tour run in. Knowing how he operates though, I bet he is exploiting the whispering going around so that he can stifle them with his efforts on the road. I think if he did feel weak yet privately held out hope, he would play it slightly the other way and try to discourage the others from attacking him. He should take the jersey and finish either alone or win a very small group on L'Alp d'Huez. I am hoping that Ullrich is also in that small group so as to keep the suspense up for a bit longer. There are 2 fairly long ITTs later in the race and I really doubt that Lance wants to feel dependant on gaining time on those stages. |
