Looks like Honchar had a real career ride! So now we finally see some minutes separating those in the top 10 of the GC.

Honchar comes from 10th to wearing the yellow... the ITT really showed the various skill sets of the riders, with the sprinters being pummeled by the GC TT guys. It's not often you see a 6 min man caught and passed, tho it is more common in the 1st time trial as the sprinters fade. You'll rarely see it in the 2nd ITT much later in the Tour - the pretenders are gone from the GC at that point.

Anybody else find this ITT depressing today? Bobby J. out, Levi tanked. Floyd, George, and everybody else pretty lackluster. "Discovery" looking like they couldn't find their own front door, let alone discover anything. Today is the first day I have really missed, in a palpable way, having Lance out on that course. God, I can't wait til we get to the mountains.
