Huh? He lost 8 minutes or so yesterday. if he loses the tour, that's why, not because of anything mechanical. If Landis had your attitude he certainly wouldn't have beeb able to fight back like he did today. That was beautiful!
Great and he got 7 min + back today. My point is that if he looses by a few seconds I would be looking right at the late start for the prologue, and the 2 other bike swaps that were required...that discounts 2 flats I believe.

I am not saying he will make excuses I know he wont...but come on now there is a REAL one there.
