Lance Armstrong put on the Yellow Jersey today in the Tour De France. His U.S. Postal team had the best time in the Team Time Trials. Tyler Hamilton’s Phonak team came in second with an impressive time despite having only five riders left at the finish.
A controversial rule caps the time losses for each team. So even though USPS blew away Phonak’s actual time, Phonak’s loss will be capped at 20 seconds. No wonder Lance hates this rule.

Man, I wish I already had my satellite receiver and dish set up so I could watch all the action on the Outdoor Life Network.
