Brunyeel will have Leipheimer on the right doping schedule to do very, very well.

I read Z's blog today. He spends at least a paragraph talking about how after his vertebrae fracture, he tried to have a bowel movement.

One of the funnier bicycling related things I have ever read was from about 2005 or 2006 when Bicycling published an interview of Floyd Landis by David Z. It was hilarious. They were rooming togther in Europe while training for their teams and Zabriskie is a very funny guy. Weird, but funny. And fast.

Z has worked to get better in the mountains. But doing so he is no longer fastest in the TT.
I liked it better when he was best TT. |

Strange that he grew up on the east bench of SLC and is not so good in the mountains.

Lance grew up in Plano, TX and is great in the mountains. It has more to do with your genetics than your location. Just like sprinting and long-distance. You don't become a sprinter because you live next to a track.

you don't even need mountains to train for mountains.
