lance makes it seven · Jul 25, 08:40 am
lance made it look easy. the easy part comes from the intensive training and planning of lance and johann (the team manager).
i was very impressed with jan ulrich this year, surviving two crashes (one cartwheel down a mountainside and one through the back of his team car windshield if rumours are true) and still coming in at 3rd overall. while lance and jan battle it out on the climbs they seem to be good friends off the bike.
joseba beloki came in 75th this year which was a big disappointment for me, as i’d hoped he’d recovered more from his bone breaking crash two years ago, but i was still very impressed with his performance, tenancity and ability to show himself on some mountain stages.
anyone wonder where poor old tyler hamilton was this year?
now i guess i have to get back to normal life, and stop spending 2 hours of every day watching the tour.
oh, and if you don’t know who lance is – here’s a couple of sports illustrated covers for you (with one more on the way):
