Gotta love this little blurb on cycling news site :
Ullrich doesn't look any less comfortable on the bar extenders than he does normallly. i.e. he looks like he's suffering like a dog.

Lance took a beating by the fans on the lower part of the course, but has made it through ok.

Basso looks to be climbing fast as does Ullrich.
