It's possible. He seems the most inspired at this point. Did he go out too fast? We shall all see soon enough!

I'm wondering if Disco intentionally has Levi riding at a pace he can't sustain, in an attempt to get Evans to blow up.

if he takes yellow in the TT, will we see a real race into Paris? That would kick butt.

Levi - the 2007 TdF champion? It's starting to look like it's possible.

The other question at this point, is since Hincapie towed Rasmussen and Contador to the finish a few stages ago, could that have made the difference in Levi wearing yellow after the TT?

Levi rode the time trial of his life. And, he pushed Contador and Evans to ride the best time trials of their careers. A great stage...a sunny day in the sad mess that may have been the WORST Tour of the past century.

He rode the time trial of anyone's life who is not named LeMond, Armstrong or Indurain. Incredible ride by Levi.

Incredible is understatement, should be more like amazing. This time trial by Levi was the best I have ever watched. I would have liked to seen him move up on the podium, but still the most amazing professional time trial that I have ever had the pleasure to watch. If you missed it this morning; do not miss any of the replays today, or you will be sorry.

+1, much controversy, but not the worst tour. Plus if you did not have a least one or two dopers kicked out the race; it would not be the tour.
