Oh give us a break will you. I watched the interview too, and re-watched it on their website: Armstrong was genuinely surprised about who won and he didn’t act the snob or jerk.

Ned Flanders said:And 27th place today is deceiving. It's the group that you're with that is important and LA's group all effectively got joint 6th.
Joint 6th is very impressive.
skidmark said:- Canc and Breschel had the same problem: loose front brake. The mechanics totally dropped the ball, and to make matters worse they gave Breschel O'Grady's bike at first, so he had to switch again. He was totally p*ssed at the finish. Amazing interview - 'yeah, you know mechanics can make mistakes.... (looong pause).... but when they f*ck you up... well, it's not so good then'. WOW.
Eyeballs Out said:That was astonishing. After that puncture and slow change off the neutral car cost him the G-W win Breschel must be wondering what's going to go wrong next - maybe held up at the level crossing next week or perhaps his bike will just explode into bits in the velodrome
Thoughtforfood said:It wouldn't have mattered today. Nobody on the planet was beating Spartacus.
curium said:What did Boonen have to say about being dropped on the Muur?
Is there an English interview available yet?

skidmark said:Yeah, you may be right. I realize this is probably a sensitive topic since there are a lot of 'haters' of Lance and people are sensitive about it, but I really just watched it and was super put off by his attitude, no preconceived hating notions. Rewatching it, he was kind of dismissive about it, but not a total jerk like my first impression, for sure. Keep in mind that I got 4 hours of sleep and had just been glued to the computer for 4 hours, so my brain wasn't in the best place to make objective judgements.
Anyway, sorry if you were put off by my perceived grudge.
