Plan or No Plan
I’d have to have them split the difference on Plan va No Plan.
Having a bunch or riders up front, turning a corner, getting a good wide shift and saying do the next 5 K as fast as you can ain’t much of a plan. More like a Frago.
“It didn’t look like a critical day this morning,” said Armstrong. “When the wind turns, it’s not like rocket science that you know to go to the front. I was in the front as I wanted to stay out of trouble. I turned around and was surprised there was a split and Columbia started riding. It wasn’t an attack. Columbia just started chasing a breakaway. They turned, saw the wind and just accelerated. It was not like an ambush. They were already there.” Regarding his own advance in the overall, Lance said he had “good positioning, experience, a little bit of luck. It was just before that corner that I decided to move up and then it happened. It was not about who is the leader of the team. I won seven times. I deserve a little bit of credit. We go on with two leaders but that doesn’t mean you cannot take advantage of opportunities like today.”
