| Lance Armstrong turned in a very creditable 10th place. | |||||
 |

| The big question mark sitting beside Andy Schleck is his time trialing. His performance today (18th @ 1min) was good enough to say he's got a real shot at this. | |||||

| Alberto Contador laid down the law today by being the first of all the serious contenders. | |||||
 |

| But Cadel Evans was only 1 second slower than Contador. I call that a tie. | |||||

| Levi Leipheimer gets ready to launch himself down the road. | |||||
 |

| Is Denis Menchov still tired from the Giro or was the technical course not to his liking? In either case, he lost over a minute to Contador and Evans. | |||||
 |
|||||
| Carlos Sastre will stay quiet until the moutains. | |||||
 |
|||||
| Christian Vande Velde turned in a good, solid ride, coming in 17th, at 57sec. | |||||
