N.B. Armstrong's interview on OLN:  He said he had lost 15 lbs of body weight during the time trials on Friday.  Severe dehydration creates enormous problems for cyclists.  Lance somehow is able to survive..  He was fourth on Saturday.  Hopefully [I'm a big Lance Armstrong fan] he shall gain back the strength to gain time on Herr Ullrich Sunday and on subsequent days and be in first when they all return to Paris.
