I am with Velocipedio and Wabbit. No one contests Mr. Armstrong's abilities, but the yellow jersey was the least exciting part of the race.

Jalabert's heroic efforts and the battle over the Green Jersey were the highlights for me--although I am sehr entäucht, very disappointed, by Zabel's loss.

But, he was ever the gentleman about it. He admitted to having made a mistake at the end in how they (the Telekom Express) set up for the sprint and he said, "McEwen was just a tick faster than I." With respect to the mistake, he started to say something like "the curve made us..." then he corrected and said, "we made a mistake (ein Fahrfehler)". Interesting change of emphasis.

Cheers,
Jamie
