Just a quick up date on Lance. Yesterday was the Team Time Trial stage. Lance's team (US Postal Service) won the stage. Catapulting Lance into second place overall 1 second behind his team mate, Columbian, Victor Hugo Pena. In fact the US team occupy the fist 8 places.
A couple of small facts: Victor is the first Columbian ever to wear the leaders yellow jersey. Today is Lance's 29th birthday, (I think). Another American, Tyler Hamilton, was a victim of the first stage pile up, and has been riding with a broken collar bone. Tyler is lying in 39th place.
