Our esteemed cycling savior Lance Armstrong, who motivates thousands to don Livestrong gear and take to the streets, sidewalks, and multi-use paths on bicycles, lost 15 seconds in Stage 4 of the Giro d'Italia today. First "real" mountain stage - though not a killer by any means - after returning from 3 years of retirement, and he makes it to within the final kilometer before being "dropped"? Does he really expect me to believe that? I think he's sandbagging, to make people wonder just how strong he is.
It's still, in my opinion, too early to judge LA's chances in the Tour de France. I think his age will really show in how well he recovers each night, and what kind of strength he can hang onto through the last stage of a Grand Tour. It will be interesting to watch, no doubt about that.
Congratulations to the Italians on their podium sweep, it was well-earned.
Comments welcome. :)
