see that is what I mean. The US Postals where laughing all the way to the bank. They are the team that was supposed to defend the yellow yersey attack by Ullrich and not the CSC.
The CSC basically defended a 2nd place and did not take the chance for LAnce to counter the attack by Ullrich (don't forget that Kloden was also in the group of LAnce and would prob have attacked when Ullrich was caught). In that case LAnce would have had to do something himslef without his team mates.
The 'accident to Lance' that CSC was hoping for was the attack by Ullrich and T-Mobile. CSC made it alot easier for Lance to win.
I am okay with team tactics, but this was for the ordinary viewer not fun and dulled the tour (for me anyway).
Just like today. Basso is caught by Armstrong ( a very strong armstrong) and discarded. But would he have had this much power if he had to counter the attacks himself the day before?
Guess we will never know
