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.

Hey Bud,
that website contains an error. It's not a TTT, no matter HOW MANY
TIMES people refer to the erroneous page. There's no way that the
tour organizers would put a team time trial at the end of the tour.
It's bad enough that a TTT rewards the GC contenders on a strong team
and penalizes the GC contenders on a weak team when held early in the
race, but to have a TTT on the penultimate day would be nuts.
There are plenty of other locations you can check to verify that
Saturday's stage is an individual TT.
