It was a bad day and I knew it from the first climb in Aspin, ... I'm going to keep fighting because the Tour is not over.

Today, I had trouble because it was slippery and dangerous.

The distribution of power! Jan has the absolute power in the team - like Lance Armstrong...in the years of his Tour victories.

[T-Mobile's Jan Ullrich and CSC's Ivan Basso, two the great contenders for next year's Tour de France, didn't mingle with the top ten of the race. Both came in with the peloton nearly one minute after the winner, and finished 45th and 59th respectively.] You start to feel that the power missing, ... The season has been long, and the legs start to get heavy.

It's a lot more open without Armstrong. I really have to be careful that I have everything in hand. Basso is always getting better, Heras has to bring his Vuelta performance to the Tour, and Vino has already announced his intentions.

198

I would prefer not to go and have to do all the preparations for Madrid, ... The thing is, if I prepare for the World's, I prepare for the road race. I have twice been World Champion in the time trial, so now the road race is my focus.

In the Tour, it's important to use every opportunity to distance or eliminate adversaries and if there's a chance, I won't hesitate to attack.

I want to wear yellow in Paris in July and I reckon I am on the right track.

108

I have always said that a Tour victory is more valuable if Lance Armstrong is participating. I will do everything I can to beat him in his last appearance on the Tour.
