TdF: One more thing

I forgot to mention this in my recap. It's interesting to note that in the event that the USPS team wins the team time trial tomorrow by a margin sufficient to put one of its men in the yellow jersey, that man will not be Lance Armstrong.

Lance's Colombian teammate, Victor Hugo Peņa, has a one-second lead over Lance, due to his picking up a couple of extra points more than Lance, and since all team members get credited with the same time for the TTT, Peņa would wear the yellow jersey, with Lance in second place.

I suspect Lance would be content to let Peņa wear the yellow jersey until he decides it's time to asset his leadership over the entire field.

Just another of the many sub-plots within sub-plots that makes the TdF so fascinating.
