#1 Italian Giuseppe Guerini clinched a surprise victory in the 19th stage of the Tour de France.
Frenchman Sandy Casar finished second in the shortest road stage of the Tour, ahead of Franco Pellizotti of Italy. Oscar Pereiro came fourth to force his way into the overall top 10, with Lance Armstrong finishing safely in the pack.
The American, heading for his seventh Tour de France victory on Sunday, has a lead of two minutes 46 seconds over Italian Ivan Basso. He will look to tighten his stranglehold on Saturday in what will be his last ever time trial before his retirement. "I probably have five more hours in my career as a cyclist. I'm not terribly sad about that," said the 33-year-old.

#2 It's not over until they cross the finish line in Paris. There are nine guys that are in striking distance and there are 2 days to go. The TT tomorrow well tell us more. It is not over until it's over.

#3 your right about it not being over but I get great pleasure in the American rider being the greatest rider ever in a French event that so defines their culture.

#6 Well Lance is one of the greatest riders of the Tour, no doubt about that, there are others from the past however. Eddie Merckx comes to mind as one amoung the hand full.
