 :( :(    But I now just read that Andy Schleck says that he hasn't even previewed the time trial course???  I will guarantee that Lance Armstrong would not have been that casual about what stands between him and the sealing the deal after the Alps.  I now believe that Andy won't win.  Too cavalier, will choke under the pressure and burn himself up somewhere along the way.

Compare his casual attitude with today's stage winner, who's ridden the Alpe d'Huez a dozen times in practice AND watched the cadence and pace of past winners.  Video in bike racing, now  THAT's preparation.

Unless he's said that to put off the competition. They may have the same reaction you did. And underestimate him.

Agreement on LA being the master of preparation for the TDF.
And all the noses in the air thru the years at his focus on just the TDF.
Did Contador lose the TDF in italy?
Or is the lack of "additives" in his diet, given the on-going allegations, that have lessened his riding style this race?

AAHH, conjecture. Fun.
