Watch out for Basso. Ullrich will peak the last week of the tour, again.

Im just hoping Hushovd can keep the green.

Impressive stuff by Lance indeed.

Next year is gonna be great with Ullrich, Basso and Vinokurov on different teams.

I'll bet my future life here at the BBS that he will not return as a rider to TDF.

There was an interesting article in the Journal of Applied Physiology last month. They studied Armstrong over a 7-year period. During this time, his muscle efficiency increased 8%. Since he also reduced his bodyfat and therefore weight during this period, his power/weight efficiency increased 18% (power/weight is critical for climbing).

The also looked at the amount of lactic acid he produced at exhaustion, 6.5 mM. Every other professional cyclist they tested, including some of his teammates, had levels of 9–14 mM.

Oh, and in the middle of all this he had brain surgery and chemotherapy for cancer.

So, Myelo...if I'm reading your post correctly, and a believe that I am, you're saying that chemotherapy and brain surgery are the path to hightened athletic performance in human beings. Keep this tight to the vest my friend; we're gonna make billions, or maybe even MILLIONS!!!

Yep. The only catch is you also have to have one of your testicles removed. That will present somewhat of a marketing challenge for our plan.

I'm not a medical professional, but I'd bet an ovary would substitute for the testicle requirement. Myelo? And I think we can get around the negative stigma attached with losing a testicle with some creative marketing!
