First stage ......... gimme a break ..........

He's only 16 back of Armstrong based on a whopping 3.8 mile time trial,
with light mist in certain areas and some sharp turns.

It's early, yes, but now he has to start thinking about where he's going to
pick that back up because he knows he may lose a few more seconds in
the TTT.

The race isn't over, obviously, but as I said, this is not how Ullrich wanted
to start.

It's not how he wants to FINISH, for sure, but nothing untoward.

Indeed, completely different for 55km to come at Besancon.

BTW, does anyone remember off the top of their head where Pantani placed

in
