Armstrong in Yellow.

There is much joy in the world! The US Postal Team set a phenominal pace in today's team time trial in the Tour de France and has propelled Lance Armstrong into the yellow jersey. Lance is certainly on out of the woods yet: Jan Ullrich is trailing by 55 seconds while Tyler Hamilton trails by a mere 36 seconds. Other riders are farther behind,m but you can depend on some to make up time in the mountain stages. Here's a recap from Yahoo. It amazes me that the Posties managed the third fastest average speed in this type of stage managing something like a 34 mph pace. There were several crashes and the valiant effort of the PHonoak team placed them in second despite some punctures and losing three riders. Base10 can't wait to catch the replay tonight.
