well, the official Tour site, letour.frletour.fr has it as a TTT. Check out
letour.frindex.html, click on 'The route' (using the menu on the left-hand
side), then 'the stages' (from the resulting drop-down menu), and lastly scroll down until you see
'Stage 19.' Then you'll see that it is, in fact, a Team Time Trial, NOT an Individual Time Trial.

I just did and it says:
Stage 19 : individual time trial - 49 km, saturday 26 july Pornic - Nantes
That's ITT, not TTT. Either they fixed it, or you're smoking something.

That was a mistake - which they have finally spotted and corrected.
It now shows ITT as it should.
You cannot sensibly put a TTT in this late in the race, because you need to have all the teams with
most or all of their riders to make it at all fair: so any stage race with a TTT will have it early
on, before any mountain stages.

TTT times are recorded once the 5th rider crosses the line. There are several teams currently with
less than 5 riders remaining. I think it would be highly unlikely for the Tour organizers to run a
TTT with only 1 day remaining in the race. Neither Paul or Phil have mentioned team strengths when
discussing Saturday's stage...only the individual chances of Jan and Lance. I think what you saw was
either a typo or a translation error on the Tour's English website.

Hey Bud -- it's an ITT in a TTT wrapper.
However, in English, the letour.fr has this text on it, "Stage 19 : individual time trial - 49 km,
saturday 26 july"
Confused more now?

Hey Bud,
that website contains an error. It's not a TTT, no matter HOW MANY TIMES people refer to the
erroneous page. There's no way that the tour organizers would put a team time trial at the end of
the tour. It's bad enough that a TTT rewards the GC contenders on a strong team and penalizes the GC
contenders on a weak team when held early in the race, but to have a TTT on the penultimate day
would be nuts.
There are plenty of other locations you can check to verify that Saturday's stage is an
individual TT.

Try again Bud.
Nope...it doesn't say TTT, it says Individual Time Trial for Saturday.
