  • 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 final stage, that happens all the time, but it's a completely different thing to do it for the yellow jersey. it doesn't matter anyway, there is simply no way that Silence-lotto would let Sastre or anyone else important take time off Cadel on the Champs Elysees.

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