Prologue - June 4: Grenoble, ITT 3.6 km

Spain on top in France

The Spaniards keep on showing strength in southern France. Yesterday they dominated the Classique des Alpes, today six of the top ten riders were Spanish. The fastest of them was Alberto Lopez de Munain from the second division team Euskaltel-Euskadi. They managed to put two more riders in the top ten on the road from central Grenoble to the Bastille, an old fort overlooking the town. The Basques have really had a fine season opening, second for the time being in the second division behind Crédit Agricole.

Another sign of strength: Lance Armstrong, second once again after his third in the Classique. Last year's main Tour opponent, Alex Zülle came in six seconds behind Armstrong, yesterday's winner Jimenez at five.
