I think he's just having a bad tour, especially with all the pressure of stopping Lance. My husband, at lunch today, said "Jan should have started training a month earlier." I think it's just that Lance started training last August and Jan may be a little burned with his great showing at the Tour de Suisse. It's reported that he lost 10 or so pounds the last month before the tour. That's got to be hard on the body.
I secretly hoped that this would be his year. I really want to see him win again.
