OK, let's hope the clock counts fast. Giant magnets. It's all part of the Karl Rove Plan for Floyd!

'course, Lemond's legendary ride (1989) was an actual ITT into Paris as the last Stage. Still my most memorable stage ever!

Landis has a look of fire on his face as he rehydrates after the finish.What can Sastre possibly do on Saturday to top this?

Forgot about that - I know in the past when it wasn't an ITT, people would get upset if the yellow was attacked on the last stage.

What's the unofficial protocol on the last stage, no attacks on Yellow unless the lead is less than :60 seconds?
To: commish

Yeah, it was usually a parade into Paris, but the leader usually also had 4-6 min on 2nd place. Naaahhhh gonna happen this year, I suspect.
