Armstrong, but Team Weak?

Tonight, it's good not to be one of Lance Armstrong's Discovery Channel teammates. After they disappeared on the first serious hill of the Tour (one which was quite easy, relative to upcoming Alps and Pyrenees) and left the Boss open to numerous attacks by rivals big and small, you can bet he let them have it. Said the champion, "I'll have to sit down with them tonight and ask what went wrong... I'll have to ask, 'What's wrong with your legs?' "

Ouch. The eyes alone will probably be enough to ensure that they're going to kill themselves to ride hard and protect him in Stage 9 (a climber's stage which includes the first Cat 1 climb of the Tour) and, after Monday's rest day, throughout the brutal week in the Alps.
