If anyone thinks that Bjarney is racing for second, they have under estimated him as a DS. With Basso only 1'25" down on LA, Bjarne has conceded nothing. I think he will attack USPS in the upcoming stages, and while I think it is unlikely that Basso will win Yellow, I am confident CSC will not give up trying to the last. Bjarne has shown himself to be a savvy DS, and should not be under estimated.
The reason why Bjarne worked with Johan today in closing the gap to Jan was to prevent T-Mobile from taking the lead in the Team competition, which CSC leads by 55", coincidentally the gap Ullrich was maintaining on his break.
