G'day,
ok...the last word on this thread.....from memory the 'break' went at 15-20 km......according to UPS the 'posties' had already given up trying to put George in the break cos jan kept chasing him down. They gave up after 15-20km????.....the supposedly strongest team ever????...give me a break, shows the amount of effort they were prepared to put in to put george in the break...virtually none!......Why would Jan care if George was in the break?......Whilst you guys are right about georges climbing ability....what do UPS do if George puts 10 minutes into Lance & Jan et al.......& lance falls off & breaks his arm?.....interesting scenario!...also no-one 10secs down on GC will be allowed to go......& finally...sheer bloody mindedness....Perhaps Jan is sick of the perception that UPS are so arrogant that THEY will choose who wears yellow?,
cheers,
