Levi at L'Alpe d'Huez

[The Falcon]

I think LL might try the highly stealthy attack from the back on foot method. Word is he has put some new cleats in for extra grip.

 

[Damiano Machiavelli]

If he shares a ride with Cav in the HTC team until the last few K then he just might be fresh enough to try something. Even then he would probably end up wheelsucking Cunego to the top.

None of those two things will happen

If Levi wins Chris will think he's concussed again.

CH: What happened?
JB: Levi won on the Alpe.
CH: ...
JB: Chris?
CH: Did I finish in the group?
JB: No, Chris.

No chance neither. Another 100k stage with two mountains, I hope, means this:

He should save himself for the TT. Watch him jump up the GC after that. I think he lost interest after his third crash.

Levi will be lucky to get a top-twenty in the 2011 Aquaphor/MapMyRide Tour Challenge.

I guess since Levi chose not to win neither Alpe d'Huez nor the TT, we must now expect him to go solo on Champs Elysee?

It has come down to Levi hoping to wheelsuck one of the cool riders into an after-Tour party. Maybe Tommy D can give him a pity invitation.

Bottle is obviously resting on his laurels after that Tour de Suisse win.

Win the TdS, finish 1 hour back in the Tour. Solid. It's draw at the Suisse then refill at the Tour, not vice versa, Levi.

I hope our friend Polish is ok.

Levi's great consistency in Grand Tours appears to be dwindling, he wasn't even close to the top10.
