this guevara must be something,he has the revolutionary spirit in him.that's his third one i think

rubiano is riding like a south-american,crazy tactics.in the stage to mirador del potrero when he arrived third,he actually was also attacking on the first climb,lots of energy spend there,still third.i think he can win this stage,launching from the favourites group on the final climb but why not do it 140 km into the stage?hey it's more fun like that.what a team androni will have in giro sweet mother of christ

right!

and what about Guevara? even in the ITT he tried to make a break

acording to the moto guy, he lost the "meta splinter"

Given their different shape the harder the better for Levi

 

[Duartista]

Well that's a relief. I asked the question because people seemed to be debating how much time LL would lose, as if it were a foregone conclusion that he would lose.

He can lose with Contador but only few seconds and not likely the scenario.

Don't worry the radio speakers were amazing, it reminded me of football

 

[TeoSheva]

The official twitter feed just posted that "Leipheimer escapado del peloton.

Is this a practical joke of some kind?

Maybe "escapado" is Spanish for "sits on team mates wheel somewhere the near the front".

Escapado is a successful attack, escaped. And it's seems Levi is escaped

I don't believe it even if I see it

no way, he's with the peloton

 

[Polish]

Levi has made a living out of winning races that top riders treat as training rides. With a few exceptions.

I'm sure the Race Promoters appreciate Levi's work ethic. Treating any race as strictly a "training ride" is not polite.

Levi saves his "training ride" pace for the charitable Gran Fondos he organizes lol.

Go Levi Go.
BTW, how many Grand Tours has Levi ridden to a top20 finish?
Lost count...
But anyway, nice way to make a living.

the breakaway still at 5 minutes,probably they won't catch them

 

[cineteq]

Waiting at the Km!

I'm pretty sure Leipheimer will beat Contador or he will just sit in Contadors wheel.
