I was looking at the Tour de France section on espn.com and came across a section that showed the elevation for each stage of the race...The tour tracker link. On the right hand side there is the stage profile...Well, look at stage 13. If anyone can make up time and take a lead like Lance usually does in these mountains he is definitely worthy of a top 5 greatest athlete status. Lance commented that he didn't want to keep the lead so early in the race which I think is good for him...But he also said a while back that the team he has this year is the best yet so that's why the probably jumped him into the lead early.
