well, the official Tour site, http://www.letour.fr has it as a TTT. Check
out http://www.letour.fr/2003/us/index.html, click on 'The route' (using the
menu on the left-hand side), then 'the stages' (from the resulting drop-down
menu), and lastly scroll down until you see 'Stage 19.' Then you'll see
that it is, in fact, a Team Time Trial, NOT an Individual Time Trial.


That was a mistake - which they have finally spotted and corrected.

It now shows ITT as it should.

You cannot sensibly put a TTT in this late in the race, because you
need to have all the teams with most or all of their riders to make it
at all fair: so any stage race with a TTT will have it early on,
before any mountain stages.
