TJvanG-lose weight?

Saw a pic of him off the bike on a Italian site. Yeegads he looks skinny! He lose weight? They list 72kg...'looks' lighter. Doin' ok thru stage 5 today.

He looks more relaxed climbing, maybe he did lose some weight, the problem I saw yesterday is that this giro will be really tough... way too many GC contenders climbing way too well.

Heard an interview on CN with Och who reiterated that he thinks the TdF is just too much stress for TVG and that the Giro suits him better since there aren't many expectations on him.

He was hanging with the GC guys on Etna.....does look skinny so we'll see if he can hang for the entire Giro.

I'd love to see him do well again, even if it's "only" stages, 1-day races, or smaller stage races. I have to think that his early success in the TdF didn't really do him any favors in his larger career.
