Levi Leipheimer has been quietly riding himself into a perfect position for a GC pounce as the Giro d'Italia heads into the Italian Alps on Tuesday.
As John Wilcockson spells out in VeloNews, Leipheimer has not only held fast to the top riders in this year's tour, he's also got two aces up his sleeve: He always gets stronger in the final week of a grand tour, and his specialty, the individual time trial, is still to come, twice.
With that kind of ammo saved up, eyes are certainly shifting toward Astana for some big moves in the coming days--and they won't be focused on Lance Armstrong. Well, actually, they probably will be, but odds are he'll be super-domestiquing for Levi.
It's gearing up to be a hell of a week 2.
