Is the Kaiser's Tour Already Over?

Did Jan Ullrich take the opening stage seriously enough, wonders VeloNews?

"Fifteen kilometers into the 19km time trial, Armstrong whipped past the German, making him look like an old man more than a Tour contender. In the first 20 minutes of the Tour, Ullrich has lost more than one minute - seven seconds more than he lost in the entire Tour in 2003. ... Ullrich and his entourage appeared flabbergasted as to just what happened in those 20 short minutes by the Atlantic seaboard."
