Cadel and Levi have never shown that he could hang with the top climbers when they attack. They're very good, but not in that special class. That's why they've been podium finishers but never the top dog.
levi will be 36 next year. here comes that age thing again! lance will be nearly 39 and kloden is getting up there but isn't a team leader....he's a follower. they need a GC guy. cordell is probably a good bet tho i don't think he will ever win the tour.
