Tour of Germany - Ulrich to miss out on another Tour victory ?

Looks like Ulle's 'procession' to the finish line in Berlin isn't
going to materialise.After getting dropped by Leipheimer on the
2670 metres " Rettenbachferner" climb today it looks like cycling
post-Lance ain't the one-horse race some expected.
But could this Tour also provide the Yanks with a successor to the
Texican ?Leipheimer said that today's climb was harder than anything
the TdF had to offer,and the way he dropped Ullrich was very
reminiscent of Tex.He's one to keep an eye on,and his missuss is
pretty tasty too.

Ah, but I would have thought that Levi needs a few more seconds over der
Kaiser to have a gap for the time trial.

I would love to see Cadel Evans win, but again, the time trial should put
stop to that.

It was a very steep climb - not Ullrichs speciality.
Ullrich can take back the time lost easily in the TT.

I think we also have to remember that Jan is still recovering from a cold
that he recently picked up.
