What sort of speeds would guys like Lance Armstrong be doing
for the first hour, or 100km's of a flat 220km stage ?

some days there seems to be 'an understanding' and they all stick in the bunch whilst each team sends a 'smokey' up the road, other days everyone is nervous and they are gunning from the get-go.

Bit hard to tell as my opinion is based purely on what i read/hear but they do seem to enter each stage with a pre-determined plan or A-B-C plan.
Some days it comes off specatularly, others they are just biding time.
What gets me with these guys is they do that and then do it the next, and the next, and the next, etc. purely amazing. respect, off the top shelf!

Or, perhaps, under the counter? Controversial?!
