    Alpe d'Huez Climb:

    2004: 12:43 Last 5km
    2001: 13:08 Last 5km

    Given the different conditions under which the climb occurred, any
    comparisons might be futile.

    Another comparison: LA beat Ullrich by about 2 min in 2001, but only 1:01
    today.

    Yes, but Ullrich has been on vacation in the TdF until now. He should be
    beginning to feel pretty good.

    The point is what? Ullrich benefits more on climbs from being fresh. That is
    normal for power climbers like Ullrich. (Power climber is one that
    accelerates through difficult sections at times as opposed to setting a
    smooth pace that can be sustained throughout the climb).
