From cyclingnews: There is no sign of Phonak riders for Landis, but he looks strong enough to follow the wheels at this point.

Now, I've never understood this. I know having someone to draft off of (even going uphill) makes it easier, but what's the difference if it's your teammate or some other guy? A body to block wind is a body to block wind...

Because , with teammates they can take turns in front of you riding hard ... without them youhave to do all the riding yourself.

Levi has attacked and gone off out front on his own. Landis is riding with Kloden and 4 other T-Mobile riders.
