Gives up significant time in a TT, that is...this time losing ~1.5 s/km to not only an on-fire Jens Voight, but to other strong TTers such as Sebastian Lang. Not quite as poor a performance as at the TdF, but nonetheless rather surprising from someone who desires to wear the yellow jersey...
Despite Leipheimer's move to Discovery next year, I'll stick w/ my prediction: he won't make the podium in '07, just like he hasn't made the podium in previous years. He'd be better off concentrating on the Vuelta, which suits his abilities (i.e., great climber, but relatively-speaking only good TTer) better.
