Armstrong just won today's stage of the tour, recapturing the yelllow maillot that
represents the lead in the race. The only major threat now is Basso, who's stayed with
Armstrong during these last three stages and is now in second place.

What is brilliant about Armstrong is his ability to punish his rivals psychologically.
Today, for example, Ullrich was part of the break-away group, but Armstrong left
him behind at the very end. He can make an emphatic statement like that
seemingly at will.
