I think that Dombrowski could definently win tomorrow and take the GC. Levi might be able to win the stage (he suggested the climb to the race orgainizers so it must suit him) but I think he is too far back to take the GC.

Yeah, but despite his attack yesterday, he didn't fully impress, I think.
He's getting old, maybe a bit too old.
However, he's free to prove me wrong, it'd be great

21 is too old?
Difficult to see tbh
So today was his day apparently. Attacked and had 2 mins over the top just to win with ~45 secs over Kruijswijk and König who were in a group of maybe ten with Vandevelde notably missing.
Other "highlights" of the day:
- commentators managing to pronounce Duggan correct for about 15 seconds before going back to (Scooby-)Doo-gan
-camera work gives no idea about race situation (how about showing helicopter views of the countryside for some minutes while everyone attacks)
-the climb being super-super-super-super-steep
-and the "Swede" Tschopp

Levi takes the stage but doesn't get a top 5 in the overall. Kelderman had a disapointing ride but finishes 18th in GC.

nice performance by the young Americans, looks like they have a bright future ahead of them
but I am really happy to see König getting back on track he is steadily improving after his back problem - too bad he missed the Giro. I can't wait to see how he performs in a GT next year

It would be dumb to say a 21 year old is getting too old, wouldn't it?

And after that he lost in stage 7 more than 20 minutes, so a good result in the final classification was gone.
He ended the tour as 28th.. 32.20 minutes behind Turpin
What about San Sebastian today? Many favourites like Sky duo, Euskatel duo, Valverde, Purito or Cunego, also strong Rabobank, but who i pick for the win? Vinokourov right in front of Stybar! Edited by Avin Wargunnson on 14-08-2012 07:26
