That was an unexpected and seriously STFU display of strength on the final Col by Armstrong today to regain the Yellow Jersey group.

Let's have a show of hands....
Who secretly wanted him to get to the chase group and just keep hammering on by?
I'm in.

Look, hate the guy or not, believe the guy or not, that was an impressive bit of bike riding and great sports theater.

That was a really, really strong move. He hit that yellow jersey group like a tranquilizer dart. They just about shut down completely when he got there.

did one of those commentators at about 63km left say anaerobic work something you can sustain for a long period of time, and aerobic work where you put yourself in oxygen debt?
