Giro d’Italia Stage 17 – Lance Showing Signs Of Good Form?

Giro d’Italia Stage 17 – Is Lance showing signs of good form?

Stage 17 was a hell of a show wasn’t it? Today’s stage was just another was just another sprinters day as far as I’m concerned. So, today I decided to talk about stage 17. I will show you a couple of pictures to show what may have been a test to see how well Lance is coming into form. Johan has been wanting Lance to step it up. I think today we saw a little of what Lance is saving for the Tour De France!

Take a look at those eyes. That’s the look of determination.

What do you think? Think he’s hurting and cannot actually bridge the gap to the leader of the stage? Or is he setting the stage for France?

This could be a tactic hes playing to set the competition up for his attacks in the tour.

Then again, he could be hurting and just not ready for the comeback and win plan. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Let’s talk about how skinny Lance is looking. The boy is absolutely shredded right now. If he is in fact hurting, maybe its because he’s lacking in nutrition?

Let’s hope the trainer’s know what they’re doing when it comes to his nutrition and workout regiment.

Know matter – what we saw today was a look of the past Lance! I think he’ll be able to really be in great form come July. Levi was looking rough at the end of this stage. Even though he has been training and doing great in most of the races this year, won the Tour of California and looks a lot like Lance did in 2005, he was sure hurting in Stage 17.

Frothing at the mouth is a sure sign that the boy is dehydrated. They better stick a few IV’s in him and get him back in the game come tomorrow! Stage 19 is well suited for his style of climbing. Good luck Levi.

Let’s check out the over results of todays stage as well as looking at the overall general classification:

That’s it for today. Tomorrow will be another interesting stage.
