Procycling mag says that Lance flew from Girona to visit the team on Rest Day at the Giro, before flying to Austin. He had a steak dinner with the DC guys and cheered them on, especially Paolo. Lance said that he watches the Giro every day and schedules his training rides so he can see the race. LA said that il Falcon is gonna be on the podium in Milan, and that if Paolo hadn't lost the bit of time being behind the crash, he would already be in pink. However, Lance seems to think that Basso is the favorite for the top podium spot.....

Lance headed on back to Girona in his private jet, and I betcha he took off for Austin and the LAF Gala...
