To talk racing-- today was amazing-- Ullrich, Vino and Kloden did well to push the pace so that Armstrong lost his entire team and it was down to the elite group only ( well some non-contencers were up ahead but all but one, the stage winner, were caught). For a while on the mountain it was just the best
Stage result
1. Georg Totschnig (Austria) GST 220.5km in 5h43’43" (38.491km/h)
2. Lance Armstrong (USA) DSC - at 56"
3. Ivan Basso (Italy) CSC - at 58"
4. Jan Ullrich (Germany) TMO - at 1’16"
5. Levi Leipheimer (USA) GST - at 1’31"
6. Floyd Landis (USA) GST - at 1’31"
7. Francisco Mancebo (Spain) IBA - at 1’47"
8. Mickael Rasmussen (Denmark) RAB- at 1’47"
9. Andreas Kloden (Germany) TMO - at 2’06"
10. Haimar Zubeldia (Spain) EUS - at 2’20"
It was Armstrong with his rivals and as we have seen so many times before, Armstrong simply paced them and then with about 3km he accelerated-- and just like last year, only Basso seems able to match him. The gapson Ullrich and leipheimr really just happened in the last few km
Note that Armstrongs closest teamate was POPOVYCH Yaroslav (who still leads in the youth standings) who was 4 minutes back-- so while the team is a big factor in his success, Armstrong still proves why he is the leader. When he needs to go it alone he can.

With a minute 41 lead Armstrong is looking real good to win. Basically if he can do well tomorrow, it should be essentially over ( barring crashes or injury) I just can't see anyone picking up 2 minutes plus on him on the flat stages
