I kinda think Levi has been a semi decoy for Contador. Johan feeling Contador could be the man but not sure wanted Levi to hang tough. The different styles mean Levi is no good to lead out for Contador, but Popo has been the man of the tour to this point. I think Levi wants a podium spot and I think Johan wants that too, but Contador will come first, his climbing reminds me of a younger Lance.

If you'll recall what Bruyneel said his goals were for this year's tour, they were -
a.) A stage victory - check
b.) White jersey for Contador - looking good there so far
c.) a podium finish for Levi - a distinct possibility if he can catch a break or two
While he's said Levi is the team leader, he never said he thought he would finish ahead of Contador.
