makes you go 'hmmmm', eh?

I read somewhere that Ullrich said he didn't want to considered be the Poulidor of our time.

Prediction: Lance will surpass none of these records (came close in the TT), but will win the Tour overall...

record 1 is hard for a non sprinter now.
stage wins - no way unless he races a couple more years
# of podium - same thing
# of yellow jerseys - same thing

fastest ind. TT - seeing the last TT, they would need some major tailwind!

maybe the fastest TTT is reachable

fastest tour also...less mountains, more mid range mountains.

#7...yep...think so too.
