Actually, It is a fact that Lance use to dominate the mountain stages and come from up to 10 minutes behind to slaughter the competition in the mountain stages by double digit minute wins. Even if there is a drop off, he will still be competitive in the mountains. I remember seeing something about his lung capacity being greater than anyone on the planet and he does not get as winded and short breathed in the higher altitudes like a "normal" person. That is a genetic trait that should still be an advantage even though he is older.....Unless he is up to 2 packs a day.
