Contador, Evans or Leipheimer.

My heart wishes Leipheimer, my head says Evans and it would be sweet to see Contador.

I see Evans sneaking up from behind on Contador, with Leipheimer just being too far behind Evans, whom he has defeated three times in ITTS this year.

Here is my guess:

1. Evans
2. Contador
3. Levi

All three separated by less than 1:30 total.

What's been the tightest finish on the podium? I know of the Lemond Fignon finish, but where was third place?

I'm not sure. But I think this will be one of the closest overall. I'll try to look it up later.

I'll also go with Evans, Contador and then Levi, although I don't think that Levi will be within 1:30 at the end. I think Contador is less than 30 secs back, but Levi ends up about 2:00 back.

I actually couldn't find this info (too bad our resident librarian isn't interested ijn cycling) but Liggett just said he could not recall a closer finish.
