All day he stayed at the back, looking almost like he was in trouble. And then, at the base of the Alp, he gave Ullrich a look back, turned it on, and just separated from everyone else. Unbelievable stuff. At the finish, he punched the air with his right fist with a defiant expression.
The premier endurance athlete in the world does it again, putting 2 minutes on Ullrich. Still not in yellow yet, but it's only a matter of time if he maintains this kind of form.
