The overall GC standings remained unchanged after today's mostly uneventful

Rest stage. Jan Ullrich did make one early attack by taking a mid-morning

power nap, but Lance Armstrong later countered with an early afternoon

snooze. However, the peloton ended up all back together in time for late

deceivingly easy stage. Team Telekom didn't fall for it though, having been

the victim of Armstrong's ruse just 2 days prior on the way to L'Alpe

d'Huez, & the Telekom boys could be seen downing triple espressos.
