Basso vs. Armstrong, where did Basso lose his time?

IIRC Basso did not lose any time to Armstrong last year aside from TTs
and bonus time awards. This year Basso lost 1.24 (to Armstrong) during
the stage 1 ITT, and 8 more seconds during the TTT (for a net time of
1.32 behind). I have not been able to watch the Tour very closely this
year and I missed seeing where Basso lost the rest of the time. Where
did it happen?

Time bonuses where Lance finished 2nd.

He gained time on him in stages 10 and 14. Real time and bonus time.

1) isnt the TTT a set time lost, so he lost 30 or 40 seconds from
that, even is the team finished only 8 sec back?
2) Didnt Lance pull away from everyone the first stage in the Alps,
where he came in second by a bike length, and gained 45-50 seconds on
his rivals?

Basso lost just over a minute on the road at Courcheval. Lance picked
up the time bonus for second there, also. Otherwise, you're right, the
time gaps last year were in the TTs and TTT, not the road stages.

Dumbass -

That was the day it became very evident that LANCE would win - none of
the guys who climbed with him that day can time trial.

thanks,

He was dropped with 4,5km to go by Armstrong, Rasmussen, Mancebo and
Valverde on the first stage in the Alpes to Courchavel - and finnished
5th.
Basso had a slow start in this years tour - proberbly because he
rode Giro as well. He also disapointed on the firste 19km iTT.

No ... The *maximum time* loss for finishing 2nd in the TTT is 20 seconds.
CSC finished 2 seconds slower than Discovery Channel, so that's what the
actual time difference amounted to.
