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.

how many days has lance spent in yellow so far, anyone know?
