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

Totally.

Levi is a poorly maintained sidewalk.

Cracked, falling to pieces.

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?

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?

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.

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