leipheimer's not looking strong

Levi is toast

Poppovich has a minute! He's totally winning and I am totally gaining 100 cool points.

Totally.

Levi...no bueno...

wtf is lance doing? Does he really have no responsibility to levi at all?

diluca laying down the law

Go DiLuca!!!

Menchov answers.

Levi is a poorly maintained sidewalk.

Cracked, falling to pieces.

Lance giving Levi the look but Levi ain't there.

Will Hampsten still be the first and only?

Maybe Lance knows Levi is done. Even so, wouldn't it be better to pull him up instead of doing some race training himself? What does Lance/Astana gain here by him riding alone?

Me thinks we are looking at the top 4 of this years Giro...

I've never liked him but what kind of ****ing ****bag races for his own top 10 when his teammate is struggling for the podium?

come on sastre

I assume Astana does not think LL can win the overall. If they did, wouldn't they send Popo and Lance back to help?

Sastre's got a bit of a gap. He's making it stick. Menchov staying with DiLuca and Basso.

Levi would have done much better if he just stayed in Europe training just for this race instead of coming home and riding it the kiddy races like SOC and the Gila.

No, that's what Chair uh Vaylo does.

Basso has been pretty impressive these past couple days

I believe my teammate RacerEx called Sastre as a danger man...he's looking good at this point!

Why is DiLuca still sporting the pink? Mental games?

Sastre catches Cunego.

That's the points jersey

Cunegos cracked

Cyclamen jersey. Points jersey.
