I am currently watching the Tuesday stage and I am amazed by the tactics by CSC.

Finally there is a chance to dent the armor of Armstrong (i.e. attack by Ullrich) and what do they do? They defend their 2nd place (Basso). Instead of letting Landis and Azevedo do the work they let Voigt come back and catch Ullrich.

Here is a hint boys of CSC there is a big difference in attacking to win or defending 2nd place (i.e. lose).

Now Armstrong hasn't lost any energy or place. In my opinion weird tactics, but that is just me. Maybe a gentleman's agreement between CSC and US Postal?

edit Armstong did look strong today.
