This also seems to indicate that my pick for the overall winner in 2007 has a little work to do. Everyone's favorite American (at least the 'team leader' on the American Discovery Channel Team) is 40 seconds back. Oh, his name is Levi Leipheimer.

His only issue today was a puncture during the first half of the stage. After that he was able to rejoin the peloton and finish a few seconds back of the sprinters.
