Takes another minute on Ullrich and devastates Basso.

1. Wow...simply amazing.
That guy is incredible. I guess Austin has to get ready for another party for Lance. I wonder if Sheryl Crow will play! ;-)

7. Well, not as many as in the U.S., but...
they're working on playing catch up. "Supersize me" seems to be the mantra of the entire "industrialized" world.

4. Just to nitpick, it was the 16th stage.
Edited on Wed Jul-21-04 11:47 AM by HuckleB
The big question now is whether Kloden can take enough time out of Basso in Saturday's TT to push himself up on the podium, or whether Ullrich might somehow find a way to put enough time into Kloden to push him off the podium.

That and whether Voeckler can hold on to the White Jersey.

Oh, and, of course, whether or not Thor or Zabel can somehow push McEwen out of Green.

Go THOR!!!

Virenque's polka dots looks out of reach unless Armstrong decides he wants to go for a double.

On edit: Of course, Armstrong won the 15th stage, too.
