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. Bud Jones "Just a Cyclist" wrote in message ... "AndresMuro" wrote in message ...

Bud Jones I just did and it says: Stage 19 : individual time trial - 49 km, saturday 26 july Pornic - Nantes That's ITT, not TTT. Either they fixed it, or you're smoking something.

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.

TTT times are recorded once the 5th rider crosses the line. There are
several teams currently with less than 5 riders remaining. I think it would be highly unlikely for the Tour organizers to run a TTT with only 1 day remaining in the race. Neither Paul or Phil have mentioned team strengths when discussing Saturday's stage...only the individual chances of Jan and Lance. I think what you saw was either a typo or a translation error on the Tour's English website. -k "William Jones" wrote in message . .. well, the official Tour site, http://www.letour.fr has it as a TTT.

However, in English, the letour.fr has this text on it, "Stage 19 : individual time trial - 49 km, saturday 26 july" Confused more now? "Just a Cyclist" wrote in message ...

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. |
