"If they had been acted LEIPHEIMER Kloden OR EQUAL" Bruyneel: "We would have worked well for any other"

The Astana team director Johan Bruyneel said he did not put his men to work for Lance Armstrong because outside the U.S., but by the circumstances of the race and said they had worked the same for any other team.

"If they had been (Andreas) Kloden or (Levi) Leipheimer who were on the court would have acted the same. We have not done it by Armstrong," he said. The Texan got in the fan caused by the Columbia team, which was not counter, allowing the U.S. as the best placed of his team in general, third.

"When the squad was cut we had three men in the group up and we decided to follow"

Bruyneel admitted that at one point ordered Haimar Zubeldia and Yaroslav Popovych, who also entered the court of the Forward, working for Armstrong, "because it was good for us and it forced others to work. When the squad has been cut we had three men in the group up and we decided to follow. We let the pull of Columbia and the Shimano. The benefit was small, 16 seconds, and we thought it would come to no, "he recounted.

"But in the absence of ten kilometers have increased the advantage and we think that something needs to work Popovych and Zubeldia," he said. Bruyneel said the team was alerted to the possibility that they were fans, but noted that "the wind blowing in the opposite direction to that expected."

"That has surprised us and also to most of the favorites," he said. Tselinograd director denied that the range was a preconceived plan to benefit Armstrong. Bruyneel said that "it will be complicated" than the Texas of tomorrow is light yellow at the end of the trial team of 39 km around Montpellier. "Fabian Cancellara is the leader and is behind a strong team such as the Saxo Bank," he said.
