1) Of course Jan did wait for Lance after the crash. Jan often looked back, he had to change his rhythm. Unfair was Lance' attack immediately(!) when he had arrived Jan. Why Lance didn't wait some seconds? Jan did not react in that moment - he just coudn't believe it ...
2) Unfair was Mayo: no work, 2nd place. Mayo has stolen Ullrich 4 sec (= bonus time). Maybe the decisive seconds in this TdF.
Let's hope Armstrong doesn't need that 4 sec. in the TT.

I taped the OLN coverage. The attack comes about 1 minute after Lance got back up to Ullrich, and the attack was started by Mayo, not Lance. Lance simply matched it and then surpassed it.

Without fan interference Lance would have been way ahead anyway. It looked like Ullrich was aware he was back. And Ullrich had a respite to recover.

maybe he should have gone back to Jan and asked if it was ok that he goes? ;-)

I agree. Jan did most of the pulling today up the last two cols. Mayo had one or two feeble attacks and then sucked Ullich's wheel before passing him at the line. Mayo wanted a high finish for the locals, but he got it the cheap way. He ought to lose time for being a scumbag. If those 4 secs are decisive, today's finish will indeed look bad on Mayo.

He'll pay for it on Saturday, when Ullrich will give him the finger halfway through the ITT.

I think the RBR judgement is decisively in favor of the Mayo nays.
You're completely full of [censored]! Well after Lance was back with the group MAYO launched an attack. Lance merely responded, then put the hammer down.

I thought the same thing at first, but remember it was that a-hole Mayo who attacked first. Lance went with him and then by him.

Funny, we all applaud Armstrong for going gung ho after the crash, but Mayo, who also was leveled, and nearly leveled again is an [censored]. Funny, but Chavanel is a brave lad for striking out on his own and stealing points in a futile lone breakaway, but Mayo and Zubelbia are SOB's for going for the gusto in front of the "home crowd".

Uh yes. Part of our reason for this is because unlike you we aren't blind and were aware of the fact that Mayo, not Armstrong was the one who attacked first after the crash. But that's not our main complaint about Mayo. The fact that he rode Ulrich's coattails up the hill only to outsprint him at the very last minute is far worse in our opinion.
