60th Tour of Luxembourg - 2.2Luxembourg, June 8 - 11, 2000Main Page Results Previous stageStage 4 - June 10: Bettembourg-Bettembourg, ITT 14.5 kmCasey snares time trial as Posties again show formAlthough the main part of the US Postal team are racing in the Dauphiné Libére, the others are using the Tour of Luxembourg as a slightly lower key approach to their Tour preparation. They had a good result today, with Dylan Casey taking out the evening stage 4 14.5 kilometre time trial, followed by teammate Levy Leipheimer 20 seconds behind, and Benoît Joachim in fourth. The only rider to upset the trifecta was Rabobank's Marc Wauters, winner of the 1999 edition. He won't repeat that this year (currently 21st), and Alberto Elli looks set to take out the tour with one stage to go. Joachim, a Luxembourg native lies in second place, 1.28 behind Elli.
