Not terribly ambitious but he's playing to his strengths. In 2006 he went on the attack with his buddy Kessler, or at least they pulled like crazy, Ulle style, and Klodi paid for it on the way up to Plat de Beret (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSZC42oLx-M - amazingly Leppy attacked just after Klodi got dropped!).Eric8-A said:‘I don’t have to attack you, but if you don’t drop me guys, I can show you something in Grenoble.’” -Andreas Kloden
I think that says it all right there.

He could probably put 2+ minutes on the Schlecks and Contador if he races the ITT like he did last year. Not sure it would be enough...
In a longish ITT for pure specialists, Klöden should beat Contador 75% of the time.Parrulo said:kloden can't even put time on to contador in a itt let alone put 2 minutes into him, he would actually lose time on contador. you are forgetting that while kloden rode last year's time trial in normal conditions the last guys rode with a very strong head wind

Radioshack have 0 leaders left then
"This year’s Tour has seen an unusual number of serious crashes. “This is so hard riding on such small roads,” commented Klöden . “Also today the last 30k had bad roads, bumpy, up and down. Every rider wants to be in front and every director is pushing their riders to get to the front. The cars try to go too fast in the descent. When 200 riders are all there at the same time, you have crashes like this.”
