Re: Where's Lance?

This is true, but I believe they have changed the TTT. They can only lose
something like 2 minutes 30 seconds at the most. There is some sort of cap
I believe, which seems strange to me. I mean if a team is not going to be
in the running, they can just kick back and ride like a Sunday stroll
because they know they will only lose 2 1/2 minutes.
