Started Saturday with the prologue individual time trial. Lance came in second (strategically?) after a young american rider named Dave Zabriskie. The first couple of stages were pretty normal set-ups for exciting sprint finishes, after breakaway groups were chased down on both days.
Today, the team time trial resulted in a fine win for the Discovery team (Lance's new sponsor) narrowly edging out Zabriskie's team after the poor lad crashed 1.5K from the finish. If he'd have gone down within 1 k, he'd have been given the same time as his team.
Hope the kid is OK, he looks to have a fine future in the sport.
This puts Armstrong firmly in the Yellow, with a 1 minute plus advantage over his presumed rivals.
Will he take the "unatainable" seventh?
