Did you watch the Tour today? Team USPS completely obliterated the competition and the leaderboard now looks like this:

1) USPS (Armstrong)
2) USPS (Hincapie)
3) USPS (Landis)
4) USPS (Azevedo)
5) USPS (Rubiera)
6) Phonak (Gutierrez)
7) USPS (Ekimov)

Yes - that's right - the United States Postal Service holds 6 of the top 7 spots after the time trial. Unfortunately, they don't get to take full advantage of their dominance (beat the 2nd place team by over a minute) as the rules this year state that they gain a maximum of 20 seconds over 2nd place, 30 seconds over 3rd, 40 seconds over 4th and so on down the line. Kind of an interesting idea, which helps some teams that might have a catastrophe befall them, but it sucks when a team completely dominates like USPS and yet they only gain 20 seconds on the second place team (in this case: Phonak - which holds the 6th place spot along with 8th & 9th).
