i meant to post this yesterday but my internet connection refused to work in the evening. yesterday was the first mountaintop finish stage and lance and his team did awesome! his mates pulled him up the last climb but at the end the “boss” was alone and crushed his competitors by riding an unbelievable pace! ullrich and co were dropped and only 4 riders could keep up. at the end it was just lance and a young spanish rider named Alejandro Valverde who kind of outsprinted lance. they crossed the finish line together, shaking hands. lance is back in yellow after he lost his favorite jersery on sunday. eurosport was too busy analysing why jan ullrich and his t-mobile team did not very well on the climb so they didn’t broadcast the ceremony when lance got the jellow jersey. as a result i switched to France 2 where they did not only show the ceremony but also a live interview with lance in french! that was kind of funny hearing him speaking french although his french is very good!
