LBL: Ullrich finishes....

[Robert Chung]

Hey, that's the point. He didn't abandon. He finished, and not that far back, either. Maybe a
minute-and-a-half? In the same group as VDB.

Axel Merckx looked good for a long, long time. (He makes those little climbers look like pygmies).
It must be tough to know that you're one of the elite racers in the world, one of the best of the
best, and still only second-best in your family.

CSC's Sorensen pulled everyone up Sart-Tilman to put Hamilton in striking distance. That guy
deserves a bonus. He's the one who made the race.

When Boogerd went clear with 3km to go, he was probably thinking how sweet his dinner was going to
be tonight. Now every bite, and Armstrong's too, will taste like wormwood.

Anyone else totally amazing Tyler took this race? Wow.

Armstrong has said that Ullrich is the biggest talent out there. I guess his right.

No doubt you are in emotional turmoil at the moment, torn between unleashing streams of tears over
LANCE!'s loss, and spurting streams of jizz over Hamilton's win, but, please, try to use complete
sentences when posting.

I was not predicting it! I actually had casagrande, boogerd or rebellin in the top 3 (didn't predict
the order). Boy, was I off, except for boogerd. Casagrande finished 5th, so that's not too far off.
I never would have predicted Hamilton. But I knew Armstrong would not win. I picked him for the top
ten, however.

You are right. I thought LANCE was gonna finally win this one. Tyler took over, I can hardly wait to
see the video on this on OLN (soon?).

That has been known ever since Fattie Jan got 2nd in his first TdF at the age of 21.

Freire did a LOT of work too, he was the one bringing the group back to 5 sec at the foot
of the hill.

It must be even worse to be Miguel Indurain and know that you could never measure up to the
great Eddy.

Yeah, it's nice to have teammates when you need 'em. The USPS start list (see:
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2003/worldcup03/lbl03/?id=startlist) looked like it could be the TdF
startlist if you add Hincapie. How many Posties finished?
http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2003/worldcup03/lbl03/?id=results By the time they got to La Redoute
it looked like Armstrong was already isolated.

Thursday at 7:00pm EDT. It's little difficult to find. Click on "TV Schedule" and select May 1 from
the calendar.
