Mellow Velo said:I agree with posters who say he's (LL) got no kick. He is a diesel and can't live with the acceleration of Contador or Schleck.
Has to go hard from afar and hope to take the sting out of these guys, much like a European long distance runner, up against a bunch of Kenyans.
I agree, but I'll take it a bit farther-- the Shack has to play like CSC did in 2008, when CSC had both Schlecks and Sastre attack one after another until Cadel cracked. LL will have to attack from far out, and Kloden, and LA, one after another, every day, until somebody (AC, or the Shack boys) blows up.
If AC really hurt his leg in the P-N crash today, maybe we'll see if Levi can summon 'it.'
