No doubt Phil screws up and misses a few things - probably while he's multi-tasking. Yet, I think he's remarkably perceptive & has thrown out some unforgettable lines like when Lance looked back at Jan on a climb and Phil interpreted this as "Are you coming or not...? And the answer is NOT...." If I had seen "The look" w/o Phil commenting - and had an hour to ponder it - I doubt I'd be able to manufacture anything remotely as entertaining as what Phil was able to do in the moment. In fact, I doubt I would see "The look" as important. Lance has also downplayed the significance of "The look". There's certainly some constructivism involved here. Regardless of Phil's accuracy in his interpretation of the existential phenomenology going on with Lance, from my point of view, he created one of the coolest moment's in cycling that I've seen in the eleven years that I've been watching it.
