Leipheimer did what he had to do. He has a possible chance at a 10th place finish. He just wasn't strong enough. Looks like it will come down to the first three riders. Landis SHOULD win it but it's not over until its over. Does anyone know what would happen if it were then separated by just a few seconds. Could it be decided on the last stage in Paris? I know it is a gentleman's agreement that this is largely ceremonial but what if????
Greg LeMond vs Laurent Fignon -- LeMond was down by 48 seconds, won by 8 seconds in Paris.
