Lance moves up to 3rd in the Tour de France
Talk about an exciting race. Columbia-HTC executing a look-what-we've-got-up-our-sleeve breakaway, Cavendish proving once again his legs are better than your legs, and Lance Armstrong shaking things up on the road...and in the Astana trailer (Contador is fuming, right?).
Going in to tomorrow's team time trial, I’m expecting a few things:
- Garmin-Slipstream to put together a surprising performance
- Columbia-HTC to underwhelm
- Lance and Co. to drop the hammer and win by a wide margin
The TTT is my favorite part of the Tour. It doesn't happen every year, and I honestly believe it's a treat, regardless what anyone else (including race organizers) think.
Some of my fondest memories of the Tour are of watching Le Bleu Train barrel down the road in an effort more perfectly timed than a Clapton solo. Fluid, precise and powerful. I can't get enough of the TTTs.
