    "There was a large crash, so he [Vinokourov] was perfectly placed, staying
    at the front, staying out of trouble - when 50 guys crash behind you, you're
    in the front. I think we all know that had the corner been dry, being in
    second position with 900 metres to go, you wouldn't have been second in the
    stage. So, to me, it was a rider who stayed in the front, stayed out of
    trouble, he's a great bike handler and he was in the perfect place. But with
    three or four k to go, I don't think Vino was going, 'I'm going for the
    stage win' - I think Vino was thinking: 'I'm going to stay out of trouble
    and stay up front.'

    Yeah, right. Vino was just staying out of trouble at the front. If you're
    going to [censored], at least do it well for God's sake.

    After he's done with the tape, he could send it on to Hinault (B, not S.)
    who a similar observation.

    "But, frankly, the only real advantage of attacking like Vino did today is
    that you stay out of trouble when it's a dangerous finish."

    Major issues.

    The videotape may not reveal the precise contours of LANCE's
    bullshitting about his failure to chase Vino, but surely
    the forthcoming David Walsh investigation will get to the
    bottom of the mystery.
