More Quotes from Johan Bruyneel:
I feel like with have a really strong team but without Lance, it's going to take some time and some races to get used to him not being here. It will be big challenge for me. I think in a few years we will have another strong leader at the head of this team and I think we have a few that are here now and are ready to step up into that role.Johan Bruyneel
His performance was a remarkable turnaround by a man whose life has been defined by a remarkable turnaround, his recovery from cancer. Yes, Armstrong won this race a year ago, but just barely, by 61 seconds. Although Ullrich crashed in the final time trial -- taking out a row of hay bales in the pouring rain -- it was the Texan who appeared to be on the slippery slope. His powers seemed to be waning. It was a very serious wake-up call, ... I think he took a few things for granted last year.

This year, things were planned a little different. The Tour route is different, with the mountains coming so late, so we are trying to have everyone reach top shape right at the start of the Tour, maybe even a bit later,
Johan Bruyneel
I'm a little surprised that Lance was ignored like this. He won this race seven times in a row, no one has done this before. The Tour helped him become what he is now.
Johan Bruyneel
I'm sure he could win (another Tour). The way he won this year... everything pretty much under control and he never showed any weakness. He has another Tour in his legs yet.
Johan Bruyneel
It's not easy to plan but I think we calculated it well and the guys have confidence that their form is coming.
