i think ullrich's strategy needs to be like pantani's 1998 TdF. just go from a long ways out and launch a long ass attack.
Ullrich has already tried that. He took off and rode the Tourmalet on his own, only to be caught by Lance & Co. I believe that Tour was the best chance he had against Armstrong and that stage seemed to mark his defeat. I thought Ullrich would come into this Tour in better shape but all he reminded me of was of an ex-Laker, simply livin' la vida Large. Perhaps too good for their own good. Yes! that Frenchman in Yellow has lotsa heart!!
