Last year's decisive stage on Alpe d'Huez is in my head - Frank Schleck was in yellow, only to sacrifice it for Sastre. Bait and Switch? Three Card Monte?<br /><br />It would be hard to know who to mark - Alberto, Lance, Levi, or Andreas? Who's really the leader? I don't think that the mystery and drama surrounding that question is entirely accidental.<br /><br />I'm probably wrong, but, like James said, I'm loving the drama of this tour, even though my sleep schedule is paying a heavy price.
