Team Time Trial, Stage 4 Tour de France

Check this out-a report on the sketchy TTT today, and the brilliant ride by Astana. Now they have the leader board stacked in the general classification in places 2-5, with Lance less than one second behind overall are leader Fabian Cancellara.

It's typical for the winning TTT team to move many of its riders into the top places overall, because the TTT happens early in the race when the time gaps in the GC are not very significant. But nobody would have predicted that Cancellara's team (Saxo Bank) would have lost 40 seconds to Astana:

Astana clearly has more than one guy with good form, in fact, they have more than two!
