TNT1 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Apologies. Leipheimer hangs tough in race leadAlberto Contador (Saxo Bank) claimed another mountain top stage victory on the Mirador del Sol, while American Levi Leipheimer held fast to the race lead in the Tour de San Luis.Contador attacked in the final kilometer, but Leipheimer was able to pull himself back to the Spaniard's wheel along with Argentinean Daniel Diaz, but faded when Contador launched his final surge in the last 100mWhile Contador distanced Leipheimer by a few meters at the line, the American was easily able to hold onto his race lead with Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) and Stefan Schumacher (Christina Watches-Ofone) losing time on the mountain.

TNT1 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Oh dear, seems he fell off the bus quite badly then. Don't feel too bad. He never was, and never will be a GC contender. Even in wee tour like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted January 27, 2012 Share I am a bit surprised Rasmussen wasn't in the mix? The final climb should have suited him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNT1 Posted January 27, 2012 Share I am a bit surprised Rasmussen wasn't in the mix? The final climb should have suited him. Hasn't been to "Mexico" yet? Jokes aside, I don't think he ever had the natural talent the others have, and he's been away from the top for a while. He's the 2000's Mr 60% Edited January 27, 2012 by TNT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted January 28, 2012 Share Still early season, guys. Levi is looking rather sharp for his Lotto team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Luke. Posted January 28, 2012 Share Hasn't been to "Mexico" yet? Jokes aside, I don't think he ever had the natural talent the others have, and he's been away from the top for a while. He's the 2000's Mr 60% I reckon he had tons of talent, as a climber and descender - mtb world champ after all - which may have required being a little dirty, but probably nowhere near as dirty as winning the tour in those days. He's probably just a bit past it (36 I think?) and suffering from being out of it for so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
