Of course I'm interested to see the kind of strategy he uses. I didn't think the coverage was Lance heavy at all so far. Time will tell though I think!
Yeah, I agree...I have not noticed it over-Lanced at all. They do little blurbs and stuff about him, but they do that with all the favored riders. I saw him in that breakaway yesterday before the commentators even remarked that he was there!
He is a great rider, there is no doubting that. But great strategist as well, yesterday proved that. If there is some focus on him, well, for Heaven's sake, there is a reason. Again, hello! Stage 3.
