As I've said before, I haven't followed cycling this year at all since I started studying for final exams and then my prelims basically from March on. Has Ullrich's weight fluctuated this year as in the past? I know he's had big problems with this and his weight going up and down will affect his consistency. He looks fit now but if he lost a lot of weight in the last couple months that can really affect his energy reserves I would think.
On another note, I hope they still show cycling on OLN after Lance quits. I suspect that they will since they show the Giro, Vuelta and classics which he doesn't enter. I think the performance of the US cyclists will help that, hopefully there is still an American team next year too though I'm not sure who they will get to captain it, maybe Levi Leipheimer? He had a pretty good ride today, only 5 seconds behind Ullrich. |

He has become more disciplined, so I guess he controls his weight better.
If they stop showing it, go there. Great experience, you won't believe how great it is until you are there (the bikers is only 10% of the experience). |

Yeah, it's something I've wanted to do for awhile. I would also love to watch the Vuelta. I studied in Sevilla, Spain for a semester so it would be great to follow the vuelta for a few weeks. The tour may be better since it's in July instead of August or September though I prefer the Vuelta since it's in Spain and I like the race setup better.

So far everything has gone perfectly for Lance.

He touched wheels with the guy in front of him. At those speeds it's very easy to go down that way.
I don't think it'll matter but I think it would have been a bit better for Lance to have not gotten the yellow jersey until later. It's a big distraction and the team will be more tired defending it. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'd be surprised if they did defend it. If there's a breakaway of non-contenders from lesser teams, Discovery ought to let them go. Get a French rider out front and make his team do a lot of the work, just like last year. |

Lance has been saying all along that he wanted it, and there goal was to win the TTT. I don't think he minds having the yellow jersey so early.
