  1. Makes no sense to give up just 7 seconds to your biggest rival on a mountain top finish... either
    you stay on the wheel or you lose big time.... Is there is a quiet understanding between LA and
    JML... a close race is better for business and the sport!?

    A nice joke, but Armstrong lost 19 sec (7 + 12 bonus sec) to Ullrich.

    Now all depends to the (cold and rainy!) weather tomorrow and monday.

    The climb on the last km wasn't very steep, so Armstrong could get back a few seconds.

    No, he's right- it's all part of the great French conspiracy.

    no if he could smash the field he would, that's what he did in
    1999/2000/2001/2002 and what other multiple winners have done.
