After Levi Leipheimer finished yesterday's tough mountain stage, he found out he was penalized 10 seconds for pulling on his team car after he had to switch to his spare bike. At the time, it appeared as if the mechanic riding in the car was adjusting his bike seat, his elbow was planted squarely in the middle of Leipheimer's back. It seemed to me that Johan Bruyneel was pulling out all of his dirty cagefighter tricks to get Levi back into the group of favorites, and gambled on the pull. Levi hopes ten seconds won't make that much of a difference adding, "but if I hadn't gotten back, it would have made a bigger difference."
