RE: Levi's crash today.
According to Philippe Maertens of Astana: "we don't know exactly what happened yet in the crash, but he says he's not seriously injured."

See? LL's not THAT boring.
edit: He's names ˈle-vē now. And that's what I'm going to call him. It sounds more pretentious.

I've always gotten the impression that Leipheimer is actually a very competent descender. But he was on the wrong wheel yesterday. Basso absolutely sucks going downhill.

Levee back in the mix, a little bandaged.
And to bring LL back and then get on the front to drill it. Nice work.

Man, that's classic Postal/Discovery peloton control.
Is Lance going to give DiLuca the "look"?
as Botto would say, "No."

He didn't look much like a "spinner" up that climb either. Looked as though he was a-mashin' away.

looks like Lance might be gapping Levi, and taking DiLuca with him?

who the **** from Astana is attacking?
Popo going for another stage. Ex will surely have something to say about this.
