This.
Would surprise me if Levi doesn't pass Conti after the TT. I might be wrong tho.
When did Levi last beat Contador in a TT?

Last time I can think was the Beijing Olympics ITT, Leipheimer came 3rd and Contador 4th.

Paris Nice prologue 2010, Vuelta a Castilla y Leon 2009 5th stage, and Beijing Olympics are the last 3 times it happened.
Meanwhile Contador beat Leipheimer 5 times in ITT.

I hope Leipheimer wins the GC, either he beats Contador in the TT or Contador gets banned and looses all his wins (which would be the version i prefer  ).

Leipheimer is in better shape, he'll most likely beat Contador in this TT. For me its' between Schumacher and Levi for the win.

When was the last time Levi kept up with Contador on a climb? If he managed to do yesterday he might be in better shape, as said Alakagom.

Isn´t a hugh weight increase in the winter an indicator for doping? And 7kg seems quite a lot, although AC lost half of them.

I meant "huge" when i typed "hugh", but anyway, a female triathlete who was client of Stefan Matschiner, said that in an interview. She and many other athletes she trained with had problems with their weights when they stopped doping.

I don't do dope, but, although I got injured late August, and couldn't really do sport for a couple of month, I gained 8,5 kg (from almost 66 to above 74), which is rather usual for me (sadly). And I very much doubt that I'm peculiar on that aspect.
Depends from people, really. Training a while with an overweight also helps you building some more muscles, to some extent.

Nazaret will enter the Top 10 I think, nice Levi/Contador are already on the road?

Expected win for Leipheimer.
Schumacher on podium course. 
Hope this is just an early season thing and won`t be like this in European races when many riders are in form.
