Could be significant that LA fought it out to the line in Figeac to keep himself in the same split as Voeckler. I think Brioches are beginning to worry the big contenders a little bit. Personally I really want Voeckler to finish high - he's really earned the Yellow so far - and I'd hate to see him pedalling backwards in the Pyrenees...

LA fought to get into the group so that he could keep pace with JU and have the chance to get a gap, as he did, on TH, RH, etc.

![]() To LA, Brioches (including Voeckler) is only a means to have somebody waste energy, so USPS can conserve energy. |

But La Mongie was where Armstrong told Heras last year to slow down and then later took the stage win when he became concerned about the GC competition. He later was interviewed and said that he did not intend to attack on La Mongie but on the next stage. If his strategy is similar, that would be Saturday. |
