Rain today, looks like the German Devil has one more trick up his sleeve!
To: Aeronaut
Aeronaut, is that 11:26 -4:38PM EST or what? Do any of you guys have the live signal from OLN right now? My cable service here in Texas (CST) decided on the most important day of the Tour that it can't figure out how to download the signal for OLN and I'm looking at a blank screen.AAARGH!!!!

To: All
US Postal also has an outside chance at winning the team competition today, which is determined by the times of the top three individuals from each team that finish each stage. Currently Ullrich's T-Mobile team leads Postal by 5:12. While that lead is most likely insurmountable, it'll be interesting to keep an eye on it...
Especially given the fact that US Postal has placed one rider 4:19 ahead (and another 2:50 ahead) of T-Mobile's #3 finisher for today (Santiago Botero). If Kloden or Ullrich of T-Mobile have an off-day (and Lance dominates), the team competition could be close.

Ditto for me, since the satanic cult that serves as my cable service provider has blacked out OLN all over this part of Texas for the entire morning. (In order to show solidarity with all those german Bush-hating anti-Lance neo-nazi thugs on the ITT course in Besancon today, perchance?)We need updates!

For some reason the web sites quit updating about 20 min ago. Those of us w/o cable are in the dark. HELP! What's happening?
To: Law is not justice but process
The top 4 at the first check are Armstrong, Ullrich, Kloden and Basso. The latter three are grouped within 30 seconds of each other; Lance is approx. 45 seconds ahead of Ullrich.

Finally got an update. Looks like Lance is kicking some eurobutt again today - ahead by 43 seconds at 18 clicks.
