Agreed. I get the feeling that Lance is being somewhat coy. He has played possum more than once in his career. Not that being 26 back in the GC is playing possum! The mountains shall tell the tale. However, I hope that his team is still strong in case he needs them...

Yeah, he needs the team to be strong now. It's ONCE vs. USPS, the mountains will decide the winner. Go Lance!

[concentric circles]

Also, one needn't be coy to preserve energy riding in the pack, protected from the wind, vesus riding at or near the lead and bucking the elements, using the precious reserves of strength needed in a three week competition.

(Note to self: nice save, not using the phrase "breaking the wind" and starting a whole new tangent.)
