Probably pr0n.

More probably Roubles.

Maybe it was a Jan Ullrich voodoo doll.

Wait and see. If a deal has been done wth CSC, then they should get the
stage win.

Not if it was a cash deal....

That stagewin has already been given, a few days ago (Basso)

It was a high price for CSC. I've never seen a team working so hard to
"win" a second place in de CG and give away a Tour victory, on a
silverplate.

Shame on Riss.

Don't watch the Tour very often, do you? Last week of the race is
when podium and top ten placings are hotly competed for. An attack by
Jan, who is several down the classification is a threat to all above
him and their teams aren't going to be generous, Armstrong or not.

Not by Armstrong, neither by Basso.

I'm not asking anybody to be generous.

The only thing I'm wondered about is why Riss is helping Armstrong to
win the Tour. The Postals are strong enough, let them do the job.

It's a shame to capitulate that easy and "fight" for a second place.
What's next? Presenting the yellow jersey to Armstrong right at the
start of the prologue, next year?

No, IF something happens to Lance- anything- Basso is there to step in
and take the grand prize. Even if it puts Basso closer, it might just
give him extra motivation to take it.
Riis is shrewd.

It's "Riis" dumbass.
Riis knows what he's doing. He's the 2nd smartest DS in the biz.

Don't watch the Tour very often, do you? They've offerred the yellow
jersey to Armstrong right at the start of the prologue each year since
2000.
