You made a savvy prediction, MJ. Lance has shown much younger European men how it's done, even after a 4yr hiatus from the grueling race. Ride a bike up the Pyrenees? - it's easy peasy for the 37yr old American. In fact, voluntary racing diplomacy has kept his lead contained until the last wk - it's simply amazing how the senior American biker sets the agenda for the 97yr old Tour de France by getting it done in both performance and leadership. As of today, USA has 3 riders in the top 10:
