Two Tenths of a Second!

I love the team time trial stage of the Tour de France, but they have not held it for years. Well, they brought it back right when they brought Lance back! As always, his team dominated! First place in the team time trial by 18 entire seconds! Wow!

Lance Armstrong would be in yellow today if it were not for two TENTHS of a second! Fabian Cancellara was leading the tour by 40 seconds this morning, and now he is only ahead of Lance by two tenths of a second. Once we hit the mountains, he is a goner.
Here are the current standings:

1. CANCELLARA Fabian
TEAM SAXO BANK 10h 38′ 07″
2. ARMSTRONG Lance
ASTANA + 00′ 00
3. CONTADOR Alberto
ASTANA + 00′ 19″
4. KLÖDEN Andréas
ASTANA + 00′ 23″
5. LEIPHEIMER Levi
ASTANA + 00′ 31″
6. WIGGINS Bradley
GARMIN - SLIPSTREAM + 00′ 38″
7. ZUBELDIA Haimar
ASTANA + 00′ 51″
8. MARTIN Tony
TEAM COLUMBIA - HTC + 00′ 52″″
9. ZABRISKIE David
GARMIN - SLIPSTREAM + 01′ 06″
10. MILLAR David
GARMIN - SLIPSTREAM + 01′ 07″

Looks kinda like team Astana is slaughtering everyone else, doesn't it?
