Not just the individual effort.

Lance is the driver,  he'll get the hat, and the team will celebrate in 
the background, just like LSR.

It's amazing how much team work is involved in making one man stand out 
so well, just watch Avezedo pull Lance up a mountain, or Hincapie pace 
him on a flat.  That team has fantastic specialists contributing to 
Lance's achievments. Right down to the Domestiques ferrying water 
bottles from the team car and protecting Lance when he's in the "bunch" 
The tour is a group effort.  Last Saturday was a good example of how 
things can go when the team has a bad day.
