I'm so old I had to look this up:
**** = What posters on a message boards will sometimes say in response to a thread/topic that will eventually be locked/closed. This is a way to show that the thread is incredibly dumb or goes against the rules of the message board. Used to sometimes get in a free post to raise one's post count before the topic gets locked, preventing any further posting in it.
I thought he got hurt?

Yeah he was the strongest today hands down, but i think Jens could use more help. I've never seen a Saxo Bank rider other than Jens! Strange that he's not getting any help at all.

Yup, on his bike, training hard.
Just watched the fourth stage into Mende. Hes looking good for the Tour, watching him go up that last climb, not even in top race shape. Frank Schleck has been a little disappointing. Jens Voigt still performing at (38), rider of the race so far, inspirational integrity.

He's great and he's fun to watch. He obviously doesn't care for a calculated approach to racing, this year he is set free.

My opinions:
Catch-22: He needs a stronger team, but his primo uomo ways are going to catch up with him if he doesn't start depending on his team more often.
He isolated himself during P-N. He likely will not get away with that in the grand tours. That's his " c h i n k-in-the-armor"--one that Armstrong can take advantage of.

about Lance Armstrong; I think it would be very hard for him to win another tour. he seems more committed to the fight against cancer(which is a good thing) than training or racing more towards a tour win" (he finished 9th on a charity ride just recently)
