Thanks!
Of the guys currently close to him on GC, only Kreuziger did much better in that prologue. Leipheimer could be a threat, if he has his mojo back.roundabout said:His prologue wasn't that great so it remains to be seen how well he'll do in the ITT

Hopefully the Tour mountains will be fought like this - hard, but reasonable attacks from the contenders that can get rid of the trains.
Libertine Seguros said:Probably because what few attacks there were actually felt like they might mean something, whereas at the Dauphiné the TT was so long that it completely and utterly killed the race; there was no feeling when any move happened that it had a chance, and even when it did have a chance (Quintana) it felt like it was irrelevant because the GC was still pretty much status quo. The Tour de Suisse is still in its infancy, and so when names that could be involved in the GC such as Schleck and Gadret attack, we actually might be interested.
