Yep....and, when Schleck crested the climb that day he was only 15-ish seconds back....Cantodor made up another 30-ish by following a good descender down the mountain.

Methinks Schleck will come back stronger next year. But they keep comparing his # of white jerseys to Ullrich of the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" fame. Hopefully that side of the comparison won't hold.
