I finally saw the Swiss Tour on OLN and was surprised to see Tyler's poor
form and poor bike handling skills (return). He seems strong but watching
him sprint to the line makes me think of a bowl of jiggly Jello. How much
energy does he waste flailing around like that? Anyone who thinks Tyler
will be a force to be reckoned with should watch the Swiss Tour.

Dave

You could also watch re-runs from last year's TdF and
see that he might be pretty good, jiggly form and all.

Funny I believe he won that Swiss race jiggly from and handling skill
not with standing......... Tyler sprint? That's kind of an oxymoron
isn't it?

Like Lance, Tyler prefers to ride solo... especially if he's on an
exhausting mountain stage which leaves climbers on the level of Steve
Zampieri, Leon van Bon, David Millar, and even Gilberto Simoni a
half-hour in the dust, while the combined forces of T-Mobile leave claw
marks in the pavement trying to get a fresh Erik Zabel past him...

And a nice long time trial works too.

That's my point. He won't do as well without a broken collarbone this year.
Do him a favor and take a marteau to his other one! I don't think he'll get
on the podium in Paris, and probably not finish fourth again. Phonak aren't
strong enough. T-Mobile are, tho..., but that's a separate topic.

Phonak might not be strong enough, but if he stays on Armstrong's
wheel, he can let the Blue Train do a lot of the work.

"if he stays on Armstrong's wheel"? That's funny. Ullrich, yes, but Tyler?
IMO, no. He'd probably fall off trying to keep up w/LA. Tyler is a
fantastic cyclist but you can't compare him to an Armstrong or Ulrich.

That Blue Train is not stupid. They're not going to blast into the mtns
giving everyone a free ride. Phonak won't show up at the mtns with legs
fresher than any other team's, I promise you that.

That's exactly what USPS did in 2002 when they had an incredibly
strong team. They blasted hard in the front until Mt. Ventoux, when
Armstrong had to go it alone.

You don't think that was a mistake? I hope they wouldn't do that again.
Last year, Lance was pissing and whining about Heras hauling butt in the TdF
(in the mtns, granted). I guess Heras is now free to kick everyone's butt
if he thinks he can.
