with the TT thing... it's an exaggeration...just for effect. it's not so much that he's sucking at TTs, it's that it would appear that instead of TTs being a place where Armstrong makes up time, it now seems like a place where he can just manage to hold his own or lose a little bit of time or to a guy like Ullrich, he might lose a good chunk of time... and remember only about half of the GC favourites were at the Dauphiné the others at the TdS.
I think his actions toward Landis are really juvenile and pretty pathetic... I don't think you can convince me he's keeping the high ground on that one.. i really think he has some issues that he needs to work out with with his shrink. i find his actions a little bizzare... especially when it seems from some other post this is
normal behavior for him and he has done this to others who have left
