After today's unexpected breakaway catching breakaway - Lance Armstrong has moved up into 3d place. With tomorrow's stage 4 team trial - a win from Astana could put Lance in Yellow. Tremendous.

As the rest of Le Tour plays out, the question on everyone's mind is whether Astana will back the tour favorite Contador, or the boss Armstrong. Levi and Kloden have a shot as well. I'm sure all of you will be sitting on pins and needles.

Did you know that this year, the U.S. has 7 riders in the tour? That's up from 4 last year, and much more than the typical 1-2 or 3 riders for much of the Grand Tour's history.
