Leipheimer storms to the lead
 |
American Levi Leipheimer took his Tour of California-winning form to Spain and demolished the competition in the stage two time trial in Palencia. The Astana rider completed the 28.2-kilometre test in 33:17 to take the overall lead ahead of his teammate and defending champion Alberto Contador. The Spaniard was second fastest with 33:35, while American David Zabriskie (Garmin-Slipstream) took third, four seconds slower.
Leipheimer took his second time trial victory of the season on a course favorable to him. "It was a good time trial for me, especially as it was always straight. However, it was hard. There was a lot of wind and you could never recover. You had to push all the time, but as always in time trials I finished very strong.
"There was more wind later in the day," continued Leipheimer. "It explains a bit as well why Alberto, who started later, had better split times when he raced with the tailwind and was slower when there was a headwind."
Leipheimer expressed cautious optimism about defending the race lead. "Today I was the best rider but it will be hard to win the overall classification." said Leipheimer. "I would like to win the race but it will be very difficult because the rest of the riders will be very aggressive now. We are number one and two now so they will really want to beat us."
Alberto Contador, the winner of the 2007 and 2008 Tour of Castilla y León, remarked on his time trial. "In the end there was a lot of head wind. It was so hard for me, but I am very happy for Levi and for the progress I've made this whole year in my time trial work."
Contador spoke of his support for Leipheimer in the general classification. "For the overall classification I think we will work for Levi as he already worked so hard for me in the past, but we have to be attentive for other riders. The mountain stages are not favorable for me. The climbs are not so steep as previous years. In general, this edition does not suit me as much."
Leipheimer commented about his teammate Lance Armstrong, who abandoned the previous day with a broken collarbone. "I hope that Lance can share a little bit of this victory and that it will help with his motivation to come back," said Leipheimer. "Yesterday I was very disappointed for him because we were having such a great time together and it is very fun to see him motivated and getting stronger. It brings everyone else's motivation higher."
The morning's leader, Joaquin Sobrino (Burgos Monumental - Castilla y Leon), was no match for the GC contenders and dropped to 91st overall by finishing nearly five minutes behind Leipheimer.
The riders face a 156.9-kilometre stage tomorrow from Sahagún to Estación Inv. De San Isiro.
