TdF surprises/observations through 4 stages (Spoiler Alert)
Surprises:
1. Lance fraction off yellow
2. Evans already 3 minutes down
3. 5 Americans in top 20 on GC
Observations:
1. The importance of overall team strength has never been so apparent to me
2. Velonews prediction of an all Astana podium doesn't seem so crazy now
3. This is a climbers tour, so a lot can change for Evans, Schlecks, Sastre...but how can they make up time on AC in the mountains?
