Who's your daddy? Landis not having a problem w/ leadership now...

14:31 - Landis Swaps Bikes...

Landis has recently pulled to the side of the road. A team-mate also stopped and it appears as though the two changed bikes; we cannot confirm the reason... but it could be a flat tire for the Phonak team leader.

Thanks

I don't see any threats to landis there so far.

Of course, Landis needs to stay on his bike:D

They have to at this point. Axel Merckx is Landis' man, note that he's right there w/ Schenck?? in the GC.

The leaders today aren't your 1hr+ behind breakaway-hoping-for-some-points-guys, they're the top domestiques of the teams, set to monitor & control any breaks for their leader. Other teammates w/ the teamleaders in the peloton stand ready to lead their man to the front, & up the climbs, when the time is right. Really quite a ballet...
