And they're off!! Ullrich has already been pushed by a spectator and almost lost his balance. Hopefully no one gets knocked off!! Any last minute time guesses? I'm guessing 37:15. Could be way off, but that's half the fun!

Ulle's doing the TT in his aero bars, LA is not. Be interesting to see how this plays out. The winning time will be 38:15

yeah if you change your mind I might too, my first guess was a little optimistic I think. I'll split yours with a 38:30. Do you think Lance will pass Basso (who's hurting, but started up 2:00)?

As expected, Armstrong is absolutely flying. He passes the 9.5 km check in 23'28 (24 km/h). Crikey.
Armstrong will pass Basso soon. He's on a great ride today.
Ullrich is as well - certainly on track for second best.
Ullrich is back on the bars, in the final 3 km. but today will be all Armstrong, all the way.
Ullrich is 36 seconds better than Azevedo at 12.5 km. He now has 2 km to go.
Basso is now a virtual 3'03 behind Armstrong on GC, meaning that he's lost 1'40 already today. Basso is suffering, but he's just ahead of Armstrong.
Totschnig finishes in 42'56, nearly hitting the barriers at the finish. He is followed by Azevedo, who is home in the new best time of 41'26 - 30 seconds better than Gonzalez!
Voeckler comes in in 46'17, now one of the better times.
Here comes Ullrich, big chainring, sprinting hard to finish in 40'42. New best time!
Basso is finally passed by Armstrong with a few km to the top. That's 2 minutes that the American has put into the Italian. Crowd goes wild. Basso tries to hold the rhythm of Armstrong. And they're side by side for a bit.
Armstrong is 52 seconds better than Ullrich at 12.5 km, with Azevedo third at 1'31. Baso has to let Armstrong go with 2.5 km to go.

How can Brian 682 possibly say that Lance Armstrong is not the best rider in the world. No team around him and he is destroying the field.

Armstrong leaves Basso in his wake as he comes in to the last kilometre, taking heed of the "rip their balls of Lance" signs painted on the road.
17:37 CEST
Ullrich will certainly be second today, but what can Armstrong do?
Btw, David Bramati will be eliminated due to the 33 percent time cut.
17:38 CEST
Armstrong sprints for home with a massive effort, giving it everything to cross the line in a time of 39'41 (23.44 km/h), 1'01 faster than Ullrich!
Basso is 42'04, 8th fastest today and knackered.

You can't tell from this information. Lance's time includes 1.5 Km that are not included in the time for just the mountain itself.
it's never in the bag until you cross the finish line...
noone is going to beat him, indeed, but tomorrow is a dangerous stage.
don't bring bad luck on Lance by saying it's in the bag... ;-)
