Well, I have to hand it to Armstrong. He rode great today and held on to third. I honestly didn't think he had it in him. There were only 2 riders, Contador and Andy Schleck, who were clearly stronger on the mountain today. I think either of them could have taken a couple of minutes out of Armstrong instead of the :03 they gained. But Contador was more concerned with covering Andy Schleck's moves and Andy was more concerned about helping his brother Frank, who was hoping to move up from 5th.
It sounds like Armstrong might give it another go next year. I still think his decline has more to do with age than lack of training. We'll see.
