Armstrong was saying today that there are top riders already out of the Tour because of the time gaps...
That's quite a statement. Until you get to the mountains the riders are dicing for seconds each stage. In the mountains riders can 'break' and give up huge chunks of time to the leaders. The fact that Lance is this close to the lead BEFORE the mountains has to be worrying to the peleton. OTOH, he is 37 and his chief rival in the mountains is also a teammate. Should be interesting.
