thomas voeckler is a tough son of a bitch

good for him.  he's riding hard and smart.  with the schlecks not ready to command the race and contador not up to his previous drug-induced dominance, it could be a cadel evans vs. thomas voeckler time trial for the win.  voeckler probably wouldn't be up to that, but if evans runs the alps as an exercise in covering the schlecks and contador, and if voeckler can hang with that style of anti-racing, well then who knows what he can do in a relatively short individual tt.
