from the look of it, sounds like it. This is the second time he is sideline for his back problem. I bet it probably be flared out somewhere during the season, and we just didn't know it. That's going to be his achilles heels if that thing flare up again during TDF. He got no shot to beat an in form Contador with his sore back.
