The Texan is keeping everyone guessing.
He looked pretty good on the road, but he didn't fight back when his Astana team mate Contador broke out of the group.
The question is: was that good teamwork, or does he not have the legs any more?
For seven years I waited for him to crack. And spent the next four searching the drugged-up Tour for another rider worth following.
This year I'm waiting and hoping for the Livestrong champion to put his head down and pedal his way back into the yellow jersey.
Somehow it seems he's earned that right.

I kind of hope he will lose because then we will all sleep better knowing he isn't an alien b/c of his super-human strength.
ReplyDeleteHis appetite for pain is quite scary isn't it. But he seems to be behaving so self effacingly this year that I'll be properly disappointed if he doesn't win (and I Never Ever Dreamed I would say either of those things about Lance Armstrong!) I don't actually know yet what happened today with being at work so late, but it should have been interesting without the team radio links. Are you taking a break from Prose Press? I've missed your literary posts lately.
ReplyDeleteI did take a break, but next week I'm getting back on with it. It felt weird to be away from it for so long!
