Landis' move when he dropped the rest of the GC Top 10 on the first climb was
armstrongian, then his suicidal break after that initial drop was
hinaultian, and the way he chewed up everyone else in his path after that was positively
merckxian.
Taken all together, we have a new superlative - landisian! ;>)

Even more encouraging for tomorrow, I think, is the performance of Phonak as as a team today - they set up the entire saga today by staying together and setting a grueling pace to get Landis up to the front where he could launch against the original break of 11... their efforts helped to ensure that no one from the peloton was going to follow Landis.

He definitely looked more like Bernard Hinault today than Lance Armstrong.
