I kind of doubt that Jan would have won if he hadn't waited. The time gap would probably be closer is all. Jan would need the win today and there's no way he'd get it between the blue Berry boys and the sprinters. The group waited for maybe 30 seconds and Lance blew by them to finish 40 seconds ahead. He was clearly feeling fine that day.

There are always lots of what ifs. What if Lance had hydrated properly for the first time trial? What if Beloki hadn't fallen? Man can you imagine how exciting a three way fight would have been! What if there hadn't been that huge crash that first day? Would Tyler have done so well without a broken bone?

I'm so impressed with those blue Berry boys from US Postal. 4 of them in the top 8 yesterday. What an amazing team.
