Rest Day -
The common phrase being bandied about since the roads turned upwards was
that Lance Armstrong was "vulnerable" this year. Lance did not zap
everyone with a raygun on the first incline, everyone managed to keep
from turning to a pile of dust under the first attacks, and people
actually have had the gall to attack him during climbing stages,
therefore, journalists and some announcers have theorized, Armstrong has
not been able to dominate this year's Tour.
Despite this crowing, it's important to remember a couple of points -
first, it is and always has been a three week bike race and second,
Lance is holding onto the Yellow Jersey.
Like hundreds of thousands of others who watched, I wanted to see Lance
just roll away from everyone as the going got tough. Certainly, it
started that way, as the USPS put an accelleration in at the base of
L'Alpe d'Huez the likes of which have never been seen before. It had
all the outward appearances of "the move" which would split the Tour
wide open.
It makes wonderful sense that since Lance made an epic, race-winning
attack here once, he would do it again. When Lance didn't drop
everyone, and when others moved against him, it was a little staggering
to see. It's a quick jump from seeing Lance _not_ dropping everyone to
saying that he is in trouble. Although numerous people seem to have made
that jump, here's the context of why I don't think that's a valid leap.
It's important to remember that the Tour isn't the same race every year.
Adversaries are different, the timing of the stages is different, and
the specific considerations of the course are different. It should be
expected that his approach will be different.
Last year, in a course with much more serious climbing, and without
Ullrich to worry about in the time trials, Lance focused on increasing
his climbing ability - and he suffered in power on the flatter stages.
In fact, he was beaten by Santiago Botero in the flat individual time
trial - and there were those who crowed that he'd lost it.
This season's Tour has brought several different variables: the presence
of a fit and focused Jan Ullrich, whom Lance probably fears and respects
more than any other rider; the reduced number of mountaintop finishes;
the early appearance of serious climbing stages, where he's usually
established his winning margins; the possibility of multiple attacks in
the mountains riders from a variety of other teams who are not going to
be competitive in the overall; and his ultimate goal - winning the 5th
Tour. To reach that goal, it's my opinion that he's focused his
training taking all those things (and probably many more) into account.
Having said that, it will be interesting to see what transpires this
Friday on the Individual Time Trial Stage. If he founders there, there
are chinks in the armor, but quite possibly everything is going as
nearly to plan as possible. The stronger Time Trialists are Ullrich,
Hamilton and Basso. I'm not aware of how well Vinokourov generally
doesn on the flat-out race against the clock, but he's clearly got
strength and speed this season. Iban Mayo and Francisco Mancebo
certainly are not known for their time trialing skills. Long-suffering
David Millar may be able to move himself up a few notches, maybe
bringing Jorg Jaksche up in his wake as well as some of the other
climbers drift backwards.
Lance has had the benefit of winning this race four times already, which
gives him a perspective that few have. As I wrote earlier, this is the
most "open" Tour that he's faced, and in his effort this year, he has to
be ready to adapt to a wide variety of potential scenarios, and that's
what continues to make bicycle racing in general, the Tour de France in
particular such a stunning and remarkable event.
The other lesson that the Centenary Tour again teaches us is that you
can never plan for everything - Levi Leipheimer, out on the first road
stage after a crash; Tyler Hamilton, who must be grinding the new tops
off of his post-Giro-capped teeth as he rides through oceans of pain
with a double fracture in his clavicle; Joseba Beloki, who clearly had
prepared himself as well as he ever had, out of the race in a flash.
It's hard to believe that only half the race is over - it seems like
months ago that the riders were lining up under the Eiffel Tower.
So, we'll see how it continues to unfold, heading out onto the roadway
agianst the clock, then into the Pyrenees - Iban Mayo's home turf - for
more epic climbing. Then everyone continues working their way up
towards Paris. There's still a lot of miles to go, and the fire is
still being stoked. Even if it's just chum, blood is in the water, and
the sharks sense it.

The Formal Jersey Competitons are listed below, but here are a couple to
add:
"WWF/Believe-You-Me" Jersey, in honor of the rider who has come closest
to reaching the prognostications of the average pro wrestler:
Gilberto "I will chop away Armstrong's foundations in the mountains" Simoni
"Natural Novo/Xylo" Jersey, for the rider who lacks nerve endings:
Tyler "Well, the bone's not sticking through" Hamilton
"Flats" Jersey, which is red with white polka dots, or the antithesis of
the climbers jersey, for the rider who will never, ever see the top of
any major climb in the Tour (previously known as the "Cipo" Jersey):
Alessandro "allergies...allergies...it's my allergies" Petacchi
"Mechanic for Hire" Jersey:
David "You really think I should ride the prologue without a front
derailleur" Millar/Cofidis
"Telekom is Hexed" Jersey, created after Ullrich returned from his
post-Tour winter looking like the Stay-Puffed Marshmallow man:
Santiago "Yeah, I've been training, why?" Botero
"Titanium Bones" Jersey, for the biggest rider who climbs the fastest:
George Hincapie, for leading the charge over the biggest mountains that
the Tour has to offer
And finally, the "Still Tougher than we'll EVER be" Jersey for the
Lantern Rouge:
