        It would be funny if this was really a competition among drug manufacturers instead of bike riders.

            Was just letting you know how much of a chance I think he has got to win the damn thing ( who is one your favourites I gather? )
            Not really a favourite. I just picked the top riders of the tour right now. He is 3rd in the overall standings...

                          To talk racing-- today was amazing-- Ullrich, Vino and Kloden did well to push the pace so that Armstrong lost his entire team and it was down to the elite group only ( well some non-contencers were up ahead but all but one, the stage winner, were caught). For a while on the mountain it was just the best

                          Stage result

                          1. Georg Totschnig (Austria) GST 220.5km in 5h43’43" (38.491km/h)
                          2. Lance Armstrong (USA) DSC - at 56"
                          3. Ivan Basso (Italy) CSC - at 58"
                          4. Jan Ullrich (Germany) TMO - at 1’16"
                          5. Levi Leipheimer (USA) GST - at 1’31"
                          6. Floyd Landis (USA) GST - at 1’31"
                          7. Francisco Mancebo (Spain) IBA - at 1’47"
                          8. Mickael Rasmussen (Denmark) RAB- at 1’47"
                          9. Andreas Kloden (Germany) TMO - at 2’06"
                          10. Haimar Zubeldia (Spain) EUS - at 2’20"

                          It was Armstrong with his rivals and as we have seen so many times before, Armstrong simply paced them and then with about 3km he accelerated-- and just like last year, only Basso seems able to match him. The gapson Ullrich and leipheimr really just happened in the last few km


                          Note that Armstrongs closest teamate was POPOVYCH Yaroslav (who still leads in the youth standings) who was 4 minutes back-- so while the team is a big factor in his success, Armstrong still proves why he is the leader. When he needs to go it alone he can.

                          Overall standings

                          1 001 ARMSTRONG Lance DSC USA

                          4 011 ULLRICH Jan TMO GER 04' 34"
                          5 164 LEIPHEIMER Levi GST USA 04' 45"

                          16 023 JULICH Bobby CSC USA 11' 54"

                          18 026 SASTRE Carlos CSC ESP 13' 53"
                          19 151 MAZZOLENI Eddy LAM ITA 14' 06"
                          20 111 GARZELLI Stefano LIQ ITA 17' 12"

                          With a minute 41 lead Armstrong is looking real good to win. Basically if he can do well tomorrow, it should be essentially over ( barring crashes or injury) I just can't see anyone picking up 2 minutes plus on him on the flat stages

                              ote that Armstrongs closest teamate was POPOVYCH Yaroslav (who still leads in the youth standings) who was 4 minutes back-- so * snip *
                              Sure of that?

                                its over - 2 46 ahead of basso, not a time trialer, and over 3 minutes ahead of rasmussen, 5+ over Ullrich, 9+ over vinokourove, Kloden.
