i have been surprised the schlecks haven't hammered down and buried voelckler yet. beginning to wonder if they can. or are they just playing possum?
If I were their team leader I would have planned for an attack with both of them going together and hammering the heck out of whoever stayed with them. They might not have lost Contador, but they should have the hp to take out Voelkler. Even if they didn't they would diminish their challengers' reserves for the rest of the climbs.
The hole in my plan is that Sunday is mostly downhill and Monday is a rest day. So maybe they have a plan for the Alps. If they don't they are just rolling the dice.
They are not likely to best Cadell Evans in a 26 mile TT, in my opinion. If he can stay with them in the Alps the podium is his.
