in prior Tours where Lance won, he would have come back from a crash like the one at the round-about. really he had a super strong team around him to pace him back, the first and third crashes of the day were really non-factors. Yes Lance must have been really sore crashing on his back at speeds (second crash) but riders come back from that when they have riders to pace them back… Lance needed to limit his loses on the last climb up to Morzine and just pace his climb allowing recovery and then push hard in the end. He just didn’t have it this year, perhaps its the conditioning, perhaps its age now, but there is no doubt that a Lance from this winnning years would have successfully fought back the time gap this day to stay in GC contention.

An epic mis-fortune chapter to end an extraordinary Tour de France story for Lance. Only crashes could slow him down. Lance is legendary.

Now Lance has to work for Levi to get him on the podium in Paris. I just hope to see Lance winning a stage this year surprising everybody!! Go Lance! Go Radioshack!!

Best re-cap I’ve read of Stage 8…with a true Champion such as Lance, greatness will prevail, one way or another in this race…
