The Tour is about half over, and at this point, I have to point out that there is a bizarre and amazing thing happening in the standings. Team Astana is in 2nd through 5th place. What's more astounding about this is that the first place guy is not expected to last, making it possible that Astana would hold spots 1 through 4:
1st: Rinaldo Nocentini (Ag2r)
2nd: Alberto Contador (Astana)
3rd: Lance Armstrong (Astana)
4th: Levi Leipheimer (Astana)
5th: Andreas Kloden (Astana)
Also neat fact: "Astana" is the sponsor for the team, and the name comes from the capital city of Kazakhstan. That's right. Lance and my man-crush, Levi, are riding for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan.
