Plus ça change...

In the sports section today, Lance Armstrong is quoted as saying "This year, the Tour will be won in the mountains.".

I am counting on it--Lance always gains time on the competition in the mountains, and if the past is any indicator, he will go into it somewhat behind, and then pull ahead on the ascent. If this year, the Tour is indeed to be won in the mountains, then I expect Lance to win an unprecedented seventh victory.
