Two more days in the mountains. Hope Contador has something in reserve.

Contador didn’t tell anyone of the attack, and Lance handled it in a very classy way.

Contador has been riding conservatively the whole time. Armstrong spent alot of energy in the team trials - imho - to support Contador.

My guess is that Armstrong, at 37 years of age, has to really guard against shooting his wad too early in the Tour. He’ll keep pace with Cantador & pick his spot in the later mountain stages. Even then, he may not be able to do it. The oldest rider to ever win a Tour was 36... and you have to go all the way back to 1922 for that one.
