Who else look forward to stage 14 of the tour tomorrow?

Damn, this is going to be awesome to see.

Lance leads Ulrich by 15 seconds when they enter tomorrows mountain stage.
4 category 1 and 2 category 2 climbs.
If Lance can't break Ulrich in the mountains now I think he's in trouble. Ulrich is a strong rider and can break Lance on the flatter stages back to Paris.
Anyone see him crush the field in the individual time trial? Awesome.

It'd be kind of cool to see Ulrich win the tour. He's had a tuff time and the team he was in went down the drain earlier this year. Team Bianchi was formed 4 weeks before the tour and doesn't have the same preparation as US Postal.
On the other hand it'd be a great win for Lance and probably the highest ranked of his wins in the tour.

I saw the words "tour" and "Ulrich", and I thought you were talking about Metallica's Summer Sanitarium 😕

Trying to be like Lance in his assless chaps, I would assume.

Tomorrow will be a chess game... but monday will be the tour.. the two climbs on monday are unbelievable, beyond that... really.. if you're not familiar with climbing up the Tourmalet with an average grade of 7.4% for over 17 km and then the Luz-Ardiden's 7.6% for over 13km... try well.... I can't think of anything that compares... and trying to do it as fast as you can.. the four 1's of sunday must be a survival with a few lessor mountain goats taking the stage... I can't see Ullrich and Armstrong battling up these climbs... with monday to deal with also.. Armstrong may be rehydrated...( he lost 15 lbs in the time trial stage)... by sunday... but, I doubt he'll go or try to drop Ullrich. ....
My auto almost could not make it up the Tourmalet.... it is like impossible going up there and some parts are almost vertical... well almost...
