Lance has snagged the yellow jersey as a result of US Postal winning the Team TT by about 1 min.
That's a lot of pressure this early in the tour...will he try to keep it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |

Nah... he won't try to keep it - getting it was just a sidebar. Their goal was to make another statement by winning the team time trial. They certainly made that statement with over a minute in time.
A bit of luck played into it with both Tyler and Ulrich's teams encountering some mishapes in their efforts. But there was no denying the team's form everytime the camera went to them. Always perfect. They worked hard all year to achieve that. "hold the Mayo" took on an all new meaning for yesterdays stage on the cobblestones. Too bad the little spaniard rider is off as far as being a real threat to win the tour. But maybe he can steal a mountain stage off LA. I've always had more respect for indurance athletes than others. Giving it your best for a few hours is one thing - giving your best for days or weeks is quite another. |
