Firstly if he did, the race may very well have been run quicker which would have suited Chili better than this race did, rather than him having to be 3 wide the last 400m around the bend and try to run down the front markers doing a 26.5.
Personally i think Lance took the gamble to be right up the front doing no work just sitting quiet for a change and see what happens rather than go back, come around, sit in the death or maybe get the lead and probably get run down, having used so much gas...
At this point of his career i have no qualms with that drive. but like i said on Friday on here before the race, i gave him no chance of winning from that draw, but also say that in any future races, i also hope he proves me wrong!
And by the way, credit due to the winner and the clever drive by the Iceman!
