Saturday, February 21: Stage 4, Vila Real S. Antonio - Alvia 24 km Individual Time Trial. US Postal takes the podium of the stage and GC to date as well as 5 of the top ten placings.

Mr. Armstrong and his team have certainly made it clear to the world that if any racers think stopping him from getting a 6th Tour will be easy, that he's over the hill, they should think again.
