Tour- Stage 4 Recap - TTT

My picks were close, with the actual results going
1. Astana
2. Garmin Slipstream
3. Saxo Bank
4. Liqiugas
5. Columbia

Columbia had an off day, they must have been tired after forcing the breakaway yesterday, Slipstream rode real well with only 5 riders after losing their first 4 early, but the story of the day was Astana winning by 18 seconds, 40 over Saxo Bank, leaving Armstrong out of the yellow jersey by hundredths of a second, just behind Fabian Cancellara who carried the Saxo Bank team on his shoulders. The big losers on the Day were Evans and Menchov whose weak team cost them each over 2 minutes in the overall.

Back to the flat roads tomorrow, as usual Mark Cavendish will be the big favorite but he put in a lot of work for his team today, look for Tyler Farrar and lead out man Julian Dean who fell of the TTT early today and conserved energy to be up there in the sprint and who knows Tom Boonen might show up for once.
