TdF: Lance Second in Prologue

Lance Armstrong sent a message with his strong start in the Tour de France prologue today. But there's a lot of hard racing ahead over the next three weeks. Go Lance!

Armstrong knows to pick his battles in the Tour. If you look at his history, he normally stays close to the front for the first few legs, but doesn't really take the lead until the mountain stages. That's his strength. Once he hits the mountains, he'll kick it up a notch. After the mountains, he just has to maintain a large enough time lead to win.

OK, I simplify it a bit, but I didn't want to bore anyone. And you're a cycling guy anyway, you probably know more about it than I do.

Look out for Bobby Julich, finally back on form, and Roberto Heras/Iban Mayo, TTT rule changes, to contest, and of course Ullrich and Hamilton. Should be a great race...

FYI
Velonews , Tour de France and Cycling News all have much more extensive coverage than the AP (via CBSsportsline) site listed.

Bill, of course, knows this already...
