I wonder if George had chemical help? (Say it isn't so!) But you have to admit - his performance has really declined...

IMHO Team Discovery doesn't *seem* to have the cohesiveness that they have in years past. For seven years, their goal was to get Lance to Paris in yellow, now they don't appear to know who they want to be in yellow. It's going to take more than one Tour to see the greatness come through in that team. I'm still holding out hope...
