I haven't been watching much, but I did see him a few stages ago just take off and run down Basso like it wasn't even a big deal... Basso took off from the pack, Lance sorta sat back and waited for a minute, no one else decided to chase him so off he went. Caught him in the blink of an eye. I just kinda sat there in amazement. Then he just stayed on his wheel the whole way to the finish cruising along. He didn't even look as though he was straining in the least. Then again, neither did Basso... Basso appeared to be SMILING? Anyone who says cyclists aren't elite athletes is nuts
