How does the saying go? Hindsight is 20/20.
Doping issues aside, don't you think Levi would be wearing yellow if he hadn't paced Contador up the last climb in the last day in the Pyrennes?
After today's TT stage, only about 8 seconds separate Levi and Evans and 31 seconds to Contador. Though Levi didn't look nearly as strong as Ras up the last climb, he looked stronger than Contador. And I believe he held back a little to help Contador up to keep him within peeking distance to Ras. He could've put 31 seconds into Contador on that last climb easily.
I know it doesn't matter in the long run, but Levi seems like a real standup dude. I'm glad he's on the podium.
