Lance has been slowed down due to the many many crashes ouch.
And out of GC contention, sure.

But that is not the same as being slowed down because of bad form.
Lance's strength has not been sapped yet I would think.....

It would be awesome if Lance can take a stage win before the tour is done!
Maybe tomorrow?

A stage win as a neo-pro.
And a stage win as a geri-pro 17 years later.

Bookends to a Stellar Career.

You're missing one point. His form may be fairly good but the mental focus may have gone. And that's important because the GC riders manage to get themselves into a consistent zone where they can block out a lot of pain, but when the bubble bursts they become mortal again and the pain floods back. Like what happened to Evans last year.

I think he will have to wait until next week to go for one.
