    Pretty thrilling, eh?

    Anyone who was surprised probably learned nothing from the last couple
    tours. Have the team set a murderous pace on the first real climb,
    then pace Armstrong with the climbers, then he takes off. It may seem
    predictable, but it's still damn exciting to watch happen.

    Should be a great stage to Plateau de Beille, too.

    Don't put stuff like that in the header. There are people recording
    the race who want to be surprised at the outcome. Although I can't
    understand why. But I'm polite enough to let them be.

    Even better than the Final Four, but just by a little.

    Then they obviously ought to skip reading an international newsgroup
    about pro bike racing, eh?

    It's probably Armstrong's tour now.............Have not had time to
    examine today's stage, but I am convinced that Lance will win. Ullrich
    has not been able to launch a major attack so far.

    It's very early to say this. It's still very much an open race.
    Armstrong could easily lose 5 min in a single stage. Look at the
    standings sans

    Remember:

    1. This Tour is backloaded.
    2. One of the ITT's is up L'Alpe d'Huez.

    [censored], I was watching it live with 2km to go and thinking "Basso is going
    to win this" when I saw a message in here with the header "Lance wins!"
    Boy, was I surprised.

    How's that?
    Only if a really bad crash occurred.
    Lance, you KNOW, will dominate at L'Alpe.

    After todays stage I think one can safely say that Ullrich is out of
    contention. Ullrich has really shown any signs that he will win this
    year. So far it seems like a repeat of his tours past. This assumes
    that Lance does not crash out or completely bonks.
