Few people truly understood the extent of the Pirate's attack on Morzine at the 2000 Tour... he set off 120 km from the finish line, without a solid alliance with his unfortunate breakaway companions, without proper nutrition, and, above all, without adequate preparation... but his breakaway sent the American into a tailspin, and, as expected, he proved to be completely incompetent when things don't go according to plan... seeing it again today, with cycling in a flat state, hurts even more...
