Lance and Greg are my sports heroes. Any chance the riding by Lance to this point is somewhat similar to what he did last year when he faked his struggle in the opening of the mountain stages?

Your handle is not going to help in the "Cycling is for girly boys" tempest.

I doubt he's faking it. He's just self admittedly not in a groove yet. But he still sounds quite confident. And why shouldn't he be, sitting in 2nd place going into his strongest area, knowing he beat the first place guy by 13 minutes in the mountain stages last year?

I don't think he's playing lame because there isn't Jan Ullrich to worry about.
