TDF Discussion - here be spoilers

i hate to say this but if this weren't a team effort Lance might give AC a run for his money.
I think Lance and JB are fomenting their "cool " plan for next year, banking on that and letting AC have this one.

I think you are giving lance too much credit here. If he could have followed AC he would have. No question about that. Long steady climbs he can handle, but short explosive demarages are too much for him. But still an amazing performance by Lance.
