remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok?

No surprise. It may have just been a sense of fair play, maybe not.
Yet promoting or enforcing the doctrine of waiting for the maillot
jaune, especially in tune up races, is eminently sensible for
Armstrong. In fact, not to do would be foolish. He is a likely
beneficiary of such a policy down the road (and may have benefited from
it in the past, depending upon whom you believe).

A more interesting question is whether he would tell everyone to wait
for Leipheimer in July.

IIRC, when Armstrong was in yellow and went down in a descent in a Dauphiné
a couple of years ago (back why he was trying to win🙂, Patrice Halgand
attacked. Armstrong was not amused.

Graham Watson's site said Lance dropped back to help Leipheimer in the
finale of yesterday's stage too.

"[Leipheimer] didn't lose any time to the other main GC riders, after
Lance Armstrong convinced the peloton to wait for him while he came back."

Hmm, Axel wouldn't have been in danger, but the time mattered vs. Landaluze.
This waiting has cost Botero the final victory.

Speaking of that stage, in a Flemish paper I read something like 'Leipheimer
with insufficient team support and unable to make an alliance lost the lead.
He might regret having refused to help Landis against Danielson in Georgia."
is this for real?
