Stage 4, Tours - Blois TTT, 67.5K

5 July

Armstrong in Yellow, Zabriskie Down and Out

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

Today's team time trial was the stuff of legend. In the final 5K it was a nail biter. Team CSC and Discovery Channel were separated by a mere 2 seconds with the advantage to CSC. With only CSC left to race, Discovery Channel turned in the best time and, of the favorites, was the only team to finish with all nine riders. CSC were pounding the pedals trying to negotiate all the tricky turns in the finish town of Blois. In the blink of an eye, yellow jersey clad David Zabriskie went down with 1.5K to go. Regardless of where his team finished, his days in yellow were over at that moment since the clock doesn't stop until he crosses the line.

So it appears Lance and company can do no wrong. This marks the third year in succession that they've won the TTT. More importantly, the yellow jersey now goes to the shoulders of Lance. The mountains have yet to start, but it appears that Armstrong has no apparent chinks in his cycling armour. Ullrich and Vinokourov have to be somewhat satisfied with their third place. They are most certainly still in the hunt for the overall. Vino now sits 1'21" adrift of the Disco Cowboy and Ullrich is 1'36" behind Armstrong.

The old adage "you're only as strong as your weakest link" aptly applies to today's stage. The clock stops only when the fifth rider crosses the line. In theory a team can lose four riders and still be okay, but it is vital to keep all nine riders together so as to ensure the highest possible speed. Phonak needed a top time to keep their GC men, Landis and Botero, in the game. They simply weren't able to make it happen. Each of their special TT bikes were reputedly worth $25,000 US dollars, but not even that was enough to ensure victory for the boys in green and yellow.
