No way did Armstrong weigh in at 176 during the tour. That's deep into Der Jan territory.
i think he started some tours (or at least early season races) in the low 170's, but ended in the low 160's. I've heard that armstrong (and other GC men) plan on loosing a few pounds during the first week before the mountains. They dont go in fat per se (except for jan) but they plan on loosing a least a couple kilos throught the race. i mean, how could anyone even digest enough food to NOT loose weight during the tour?
EDIT just found a site that siad 165#, but again that doesnt state at what point in the season...
