SPOILER - Standings after Stage 4, TDF08

Here is how the riders are placed after today's Individual Time Trial.

A nice little shake-up. My riders didn't win, but they're all placed in the top 10.

See you tomorrow for the first of a more difficult and long stage. It's 232KM and goes from Cholet to Châteauroux. The stage is flat and I expect that it will be won by Thor Hushovd or Robbie Mc Ewen. UNLESS there's a major breakaway. See you tomorrow.
