I must be having a senior moment, (again).
If Lance starts a minute behind Ullrich and passes him before the finish,
why is the differential on their respective times only 51 secs?
from OLN coverage and cyclingnews web site:

DZ 20:51
LA +0:02
JU +0:53

Your time for Ullrich is wrong. He was 1.08 back.
