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.

Landis had a good ride, but obviously I'm disappointed in Hincapie's and Zabriskie's times. Landis might be in yellow right now if not for mechanical difficulties today and during the Prologue...
I wonder what happened to Leipheimer...
