Tour de France 2008

lemond won the 1989 tour by 8 seconds on the final stage, but it was in a time trial. not the same thing. it's also one thing to attack and win the stage, that happens all the time, but it's a completely different thing to do it for the yellow jersey.

did you see today's stage? Cadel worked harder than anyone else to pull Sastre back. he was excellent today.

Cadel was not excellent today. Cadel should have tried to pull him back earlier, clearly.

and LeMond did go out alone on the final stage in paris, not a TT, on one of his final tours in the early nineties, i think -i remember cos i was watching. he didn't win it though.
