"Perhaps he's not quite as strong as other years, but the style with which he's controlled the race, tactically taking the time at just the right moment, it's poetic," Unzue said. "It reminds me a lot of how Indurain used to win the Tour."
A great observation. The comment has been made here regarding stealing a 1 min lead in the Prolog, ect. But having a lead and knowing how to ride the race with a lead are two different things. The biggest strength of Lance and Discovery is knowing how to win from the front. They are masters of this race.
