Look for something special tomorrow from Levi Leipheimer at L'Alpe d'Huez,
He is rested and hunting for a stage win.
If he doesn't attack tomorrow he will try to win the TT.
He always is strong in the last week of a grand tour and for the first time he hasn't been concerned about his G.C. placing or defending a G.C. contender's place.

Uhm, I think he tried that today.** Didn't seem to work.

**If you don't believe me, tivo back to the first 30 mins of racing. It was easy to miss the 'move'.

Levi is planning on taking a team car to the base of the climb where he will hand out 1 dozen free Road IDs and then return to a soft hotel bed and talk with his mom on the phone. She believes in him also. You should text him some positive words if what you saw him do was "rest" on the bike. Cav also rested lots today, Roche rode really great but rested for about the last 8 k on the climb. Alberto also started resting when a little pulse from his group made him go off the back. Eurocar got no rest today

I expect he will attack right out the back like he did today...

It would seem that wheelsucking french riders not named Thomas is not a winning strategy.

Choose a Luxembourg wheel next time, Bottle. You still will not win, but maybe you could steal overall victory in a time trial.

The tour organizers have asked the Hog and Levi, if it will be okay for Levi to tow a mobile cotton candy machine behind his bike and offer some sweet fluff to all his fans. If no machines are available he may hand out some jumbo marshmallows that Lance is having flown in by private jet. Levi let your wife finish the tour for you or stop racing and join the Radio Shack pottery team, fastest one to make a salad bowl wins..yes you disappointed me,,you to Kloden I hope you are home chocking on your forth brat,

Today Levi bridged the 100 metres from peloton to breakaway all on his own. That's the most agressive riding anyone has ever seen from him. Maybe he has gotten a taste for it, now that he tried it? Maybe he will take on Alpe d'Huez tomorrow in a heroic battle man vs. mountain. Or maybe not...

Truth is more likely that Levi is targeting the ITT than that he's targeting Alpe d'Huez.

Then again, it's the only mountain Liggett and Sherwen have ever heard of if the Tour of California coverage is to be believed, so it might be better for the American audience if he "attacks" tomorrow.

Rogaine Boy™ forgot to get his 800mL's of packed cells on the rest day from Allen Lim. Apparently, all the increased scrutiny and fear of having his hotel room door kicked in by the long arm of Jeff Novitzky and the SoCal G-men has forced him and the Radio Shack cartel to go au natural this Tour....Levi will finish 5 minutes down in the TT. I sure hope Road ID is paying him royalties on those commercials.

Thanks for the clueless prediction though. Let me know if you have any clairvoyant stock picks.

Like in the "Days of our Lance"-thread: "STFU Levi. Are you f**** serious? At this point I was glad you and Chris were wearing helmets or it would have looked like two shaved testicles teabagging the sky"

What happened to those videos anyway, where can I find them again? They were hilarious. Brilliant comedy.
