Looks like Lance has sewn it up. I couldn't agree with him more about having a time trial up a mountain being a bad idea. The crowds were enormous and obnixious. On the one hand I think its brilliant that people can still get so close to the best cyclists in the world but today I felt like it was too much. Some people were interfering in a bad way. The people who run alongside the riders are the worst as they could fall at any moment... especially if they have had as much to drink as they appear to have had.
If they decide to do a time trial upwards again I think they should have barriers over the whole course. Good for Lance anyway!
