This was pretty amazing to watch this morning. Lance never actually attacked - his team just set such a blistering pace up the final climb that everybody just collapsed out the back! Lance never looked like he was even breathing hard, and Jan Ullrich looked like he was dying!
Tomorrow is going to be incredibly difficult with lots of climbing, including another summit finish. Should be great stuff. Oh, they also climb the Col du Portet d'Aspet, which is where Lance's team mate Fabio Casartelli lost his life in a high speed crash on the descent several years ago. Should be pretty emotional as always.
