Whiff.
Remember when we used to say that?
Anyhoo, with the OLNTV web site temporarily down, thus preventing me from confirming what I assume is a US Postal win (although early results showing that the team, and thus Armstrong, may not gain as much time on Euskatel as some anticipated), I will ask a question to the bicycling junkies about yesterday's stage. Some may recall last year when Armstrong crashed, and there was all the hoo ha about whether Ullrich slowed and how Hamilton had to go to tell the lead pack to slow down and how it is a gentlemen's sport where you do not take advantage of a fallen rider.
Well, yesterday, there was a crash and some of the possible GC favorites, most notably Iban Mayo, got stuck in the second half of the peloton (the half that was slowed by the crash). Instead of waiting, the teams in the first half of the peloton brought the hammer down and rocketed down the road, putting several minutes between them and the second pack, possibly killing Mayo's chances this tour. Why, Armstrong?
