52nd Criterium du Dauphiné Libére - 2.HCFrance, June 4 - 11, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 3 - June 7: Saint-Etienne - Saint-Chamond, ITT 35.7 kmArmstrong gets some "match practice"Lance Armstrong's victory on the TT stage from St Etienne to Saint Chamond was not unexpected after strong performances in the Classique des Alpes as well as the prologue of the Dauphiné Liberé. He is really looking strong and seems well prepared for the Tour. He has said that he doesn't have overall ambitions for this race but here he is now in the leader's jersey, whether he likes it or not. He probably wouldn't mind keeping but the question is if he will use all his powers to defend it. The Dauphiné Liberé is after all only a step in his Tour build up. But on the other hand, practice in jersey defending might come in handy for the Posties… Second placed today, Haimar Zubeldia of Euskaltel Euskadi will not be a threat in the Tour since his team won't participate, although the Basque squad has had a great season so far. Third place went to Armstrong's team mate Tyler Hamilton while last year's Tour runner up, Alex Zuelle had a less impressive sixth place, with Beloki (Festina) and David Millar (Cofidis), a bit surprising, in between. Laurent Jalabert fell early on the stage and ended twelfth. Also Benoit Salmon fell and had to abandon.
