he is within 30 sec of 2 guys he should easily run away from in the TT. And on top of that, since he is not in yellow, he is not responsible for chasing down any breaks tomorrow. That will fall on Perreiro and Sastre's teams. Sure floyd will undoubtably mark anyone that's a threat to him (IE Kloden), but in reality, he can hang with his team in the middle of the Peleton, and let the others do the work tomorrow.
And that's gonn a have an impact on the race for yellow....
