Floyd Landis' Secret Weapon

Patrick O'Grady at Velonews has asked the hard questions and is on track to discover the secret weapon that Floyd Landis unleashed to destroy the peloton yesterday. He may be on to something.

Quote:

"I mean, c'mon - how many cues does a savvy scribe need? During a press conference after Landis went as flat as a 2-year-old Michelob Ultra on the Stage-16 grunter to La Toussuire, the former race leader was asked, 'How do you deal with this from a mental standpoint?'

"His reply: 'I don't know. Drink some beer? That's what I'm thinking about now.'

"Then, at a press conference on Thursday, after Landis chased down an 11-man breakaway, killed them and ate them, built a new bicycle out of their bones, and roared away in a pillar of fire to win the stage to Morzine and jump back to within 30 seconds of the yellow jersey, he mentioned beer once again."
