Will Jan attack?

Wonder if he has enough juice? Will he go on the final climb? I am hoping
he gives it a try, but Lance is so tough on the hills as we saw on the ITT.

Discuss. (sorry, I couldn't resist)

I think he had a better shot on the other stage if he'd attacked later,
but you know Lance, he probably would have jumped on his wheel and Jan
would have been towing him until Lance jumped clear. Jan can't match
Lance and takes too long in that big gear accelerating.

Yeah, I guess I just wonder if Lance will ever hit a wall. He is pretty
damn amazing. I am hoping Jan gets second at least.

Landis too strong! What a team USPS has. Not much can be done against such
a force. Maybe Jan will take chances and get a stage win.

I thought that Jan would attack to try and solidify a podium finish. Guess he's
either giving it to his team mate, or waiting until the tT.

There's still tomorrow. On paper it's not hard, with no Cat 1's or HC climbs.
In reality, everyone is already destroyed, and it will undoubtedly be another
selective stage. Jan can do it.

Not tomorrow. Postal will be too strong at the finish. You think they'll let
Jan get away after he chased down Floyd twice today?

My prediction: a medium sized group of not too threatening GC riders will
get away in the first 50 km and USPS will ride tempo to the finish.

There's got to be a lot of desperation on teams to bag a stage win.
Should be nicely chaotic.
