Great post Rosa. Cycle racing, especially in the grand tours, is a combination of teamwork, psychology and physiology. And what a great team Discovery have.
It's amazing to see Savoldelli go back to the team car and pick up half a dozen bottles to share with the team. He is a Giro d'Italia winner, but he is happy to serve the greater goal of getting Armstrong to Paris in yellow.
It's interesting to me also that Lance is on for a seventh win, but this is the first year that his team mates have ridden away to their own stages wins (Hincapie and Savoldelli). Do you think Discovery are doing a little succession planning?

Yes Adrian, I do think there is succession planning AND some smart marketing in getting the rest of us excited about the prospect of LAA - cycling life after Armstrong.
My brother and his family will be here on the Big Island Sunday - as part of his 2-week R&R home from Iraq - and so we'll be having a great time watching the culmination of Le Tour that day together.
I'm enjoying your own cycling posts too: good tips.
