  1. Of course, Ullrich is eating during the chase.

    DSC is going so hard no one can attack, and Jan calmly takes a few
    moments for a snack, comfortably keeping up...

    Actually, it looked like he gave up and pitched it off the side of the
    road to his left. Lol.

    You know he was like "damn people this is a tour, not a spring
    classic".

    It might be the iconic image of the stage, Discovery and
    Lance all worried about Vino, while Jan worries about a snack.

    That's exactly what I was thinking.

    He had a teammate off the front. That's part of the reason
    to have a teammate off the front, so you can eat in peace.

    If you guys think Jan and Vino should have traded places
    you're suffering bonk-induced brain fade. DSC would never
    let Jan get off the front like Vino did.

    I'm not saying he *shouldn't* have grabbed a bite, but it an interesting
    image considering his battles with weight.

    I don't think the Tour is somewhere you should be worrying about calorie restriction! You need to lose weight before the tour.

    As to Ulrich, he had a team mate out front, Discovery were doing the work on the front and it was all downhill to the end.

    Ideal time to start thinking about recovering for the next day if you ask me.

    If Ullrich gains weight during a 3 week stage race, I want to know about it!
    Slipping off the back for a brat and stein, then racing back up.

    What's he supposed to do, bonk? Then everyone would say what an idiot
    he is for bonking... the guy can't win.

    Weight problem or no, apparently the average weight loss during the
    tour (or any grand tour) is abouat 7k. I don't think dieting is a big
    issue there.

    I think everybody is taking the thread too literally. It was just
    funny seeing the camera
    pan over the faces masked with concentration, while Jan looked totally
    care-free.

    LeMonds ADR (and later Z) teamate Johan Lammerts once came out of the
    Tour heavier
    than he started. A pretty good trick.

    How much weight did you lose when you pulled this ridiculous, made-up
    statistic out of your ass?
