Bonnie DeSimone of the Boston Globe, one of the better cycling writers around, has an excellent summary of the "Landis defense" today.
Alan Abramson of the Los Angeles Times, who has been a frequent contributor on NBC and MSNBC, has more of the same. But there's a particularly interesting part of his story that more specifically describes Landis's evening after the near-fatal 16th stage of the Tour and the morning of the miraculous 17th:
"This morning he was so angry … so mad at himself," wrote Landis physiologist Allen Lim in a Bicycling.com blog post. "He had the music cranked to max as he paced around his tiny hotel room like a wild animal, foraging for his belongings so he could pack his suitcase for the transfer. His appetite for redemption was so raw and you could see his thirst for blood as he proclaimed, 'I'm the strongest guy in the race! And yesterday was crap! I may lose this Tour but it's going to cost them!'"
