Oh, I agree Lance is a very good rider..otherwise he wouldn't be the captain
. It just sucks when someone like Jalabert goes on the break solo for 100km+ and then someone (Lance in this case) gets 2-3 teammates to pull him up the last mountain. (And after playing windbreakers, 2 of them are dropped like yesterdays news.)
The worst, though was, was Telekoms attempt to create a stage win for Zabel at stage 2 (or 3?). What's the point of calling him great sprinter, if he needs a train of 4 people to drag him up?. Luckily it failed.
Anyways...there's a lot of mountains to climb yet and while Lance looks like strong favourite, a lot can happen
