    Official Lance Armstrong thread

    While I agree 18% fundraising is high. 4.9% administrative is actually pretty good. 77% of donated money goes to the cause. Its not great but I've seen "charities" with worse.

    Ullrich beats Contador to Arcalis

    It was slow because Astana didn't want the jersey. So JB kept trying to slow his team down. It wasn't until Contador attacked that the pace really lifted.

    Official thread- TDF Stage 7 Barcelone - Andorre Arcalis 224km

    One of the interviews said that JB kept telling the team to slow down on the chase up to the first mountain. He didn't want the yellow jersey. I understand Contador attacking but I think he might have screwed up if that AG2R rider can hang on to the pace tomorrow. If not, Astana will have to...

    Astana is driving like someone got split off but I can't figure out who it is. Gesink is hurt so they can't be worried about him.

    Official thread - TdF Stage 4: Team Time Trial (Montpellier - Montpellier 38 km)

    I think its fitting that LA was the 5th rider across the line who was 1/10ths of a second slow.

    Ya Brunyneel couldn't have drawn it up better on paper. Maximum time gains for his GC riders, and they don't have the responsibility of driving the pace. Lucky if you ask me.
