Not just the individual effort.
Lance is the driver, he'll get the hat, and the team will celebrate in
the background, just like LSR.
It's amazing how much team work is involved in making one man stand out
so well, just watch Avezedo pull Lance up a mountain, or Hincapie pace
him on a flat. That team has fantastic specialists contributing to
Lance's achievments. Right down to the Domestiques ferrying water
bottles from the team car and protecting Lance when he's in the "bunch"
The tour is a group effort. Last Saturday was a good example of how
things can go when the team has a bad day.
