FOURTH STAGE
Stage: Joinville to Saint-Dizier, a 42.8-mile team time trial in eastern France.
Winner: U.S. Postal team in 1 hour, 18 minutes and 27 seconds -- the first win by Lance Armstrong's team in this stage.
How others fared: Spanish outfit ONCE, last year's winners, finished second; Jan Ullrich's Team Bianchi was third, and Ibanesto.com came in fourth.
Quote of the Day: "In previous years we didn't win the time trial, and it was a really unhappy feeling at the dinner table. We were asking ourselves why we couldn't do it. I think it will be a happy dinner table tonight." -- Armstrong.
Next Stage: Troyes to Nevers, a 121.52-mile route toward the center of France.
