Leipheimer Out

Breaking news. Levi Leipheimer is out of the Tour due to a broken wrist. The break occurred during yesterday's stage within 2 km of the finish. Levi didn't realize it was broken until after the stage. It hurt throughout the night and he abandoned the Tour this morning.

Will Levi's departure leave Lance without an ally when it comes to the internal power struggle between him and Contador? Time will tell.
