Maybe my english is somewhat lacking here. During the Giro this was discussed a lot on the Eurosport coverage by the swedish commentators. What they where saying was that if he was thrown into too many hard stage races too soon he would risk cracking before he had *matured* enough to be "exploited" properly. From what I understood this is how they had interpreted what the Saeco team management had hinted at. Maybe USPS just plain bought him out so Lance could work on his sixth without being embarrased? -- Perre You have to be smarter than a robot to reply. |

Another definition of exploit is use or do something fully and completely. You understand the definition of exploit, but your sentence phrasing indicated the primary usage, rather then the other one. |
