Leipheimer on track

Gerolsteiner's Levi Leipheimer made a solid appearance in yesterday's time trial. Finishing 14th, he lost only 1.11 on Armstrong. "He's on track," said Gerolsteiner directeur sportif Hans-Michael Holczer. "Levi is absolutely within reach of his rivals in the fight over a top placing on GC."

The American himself was also content. "I gave it all and I'm satisfied with my performance. This kind of easy parcours doesn't really suit me, so the result is okay."
