Anyone hear him on OLN. Stated He does not have the “punch” or rythm on the climbs. Stated The other days climb was the only real climb his done this year…??? Could have He have miised mnt traing time this year? It just seemed an odd statement.
Lance loves to play games leading up to the tour. He was playing games in the Dauphine as he pulled Levi up the mountain, only to drop back and pick him back up when Levi fell off pace…I personally think he is right on track to an awesome tour. Just look at his Dauphine performance this year compared to last!
Watching the rest of the show seems to prove you right.
I think he’s in serious trouble in winning the tour this year. Ullrich looks like he’s finally going to take the yellow.
The Dauphine marks the start of the annual Write Lance Off in June Derby! Tally ho!
yeah right…like in 2001 when supposedly, he was struggling big time in the mountains…
not sure if he does this just for US media though, because he told l’Equipe something different…he said he felt completely in control during the climbs, he was just looking for some rhythm on the climbs and he was where he wanted to be. At race weight ‘I’ll be just fine’…
Kenny,
Lance said it was the only mountain "race" of the year. He's done his work. He's ready. That doesn't mean he will win, but with all the others knowing that this will be their last shot at Lance, this should be one hell of a Tour.
