So even if he DOES have a crash, he's Lance Armstrong. Everyone will wait till he gets back on the bike. I'd seriously be disappointed if he WAS doping, as my (English) diploma exam was on "determination" and a story relating to Lance Armstrong's successes.

It is traditional to not "attack" the yellow jersey when it is down. However it is only tradition and not a rule and that doesn't mean the field will “wait” for him per say. If he has a problem then he will still have to catch up. Depending on the circumstances or severity he may not be able to.
Today’s finish was awesome. I couldn’t get up early enough to watch the race but I will tonight. I think it is fantastic that T-Mobile went on the attack early. They’re pulling out all the stops to find a way to get that time back and attack US Postal. Fantastic, just fantastic.

Oh, deets: Armstrong’s Resting HR is 35. (22 is incredible IMHO, wow).
