levi leipheimer stomped his way to a second time trial win in the vuelta and looks set as the favourite to beat for next week's world champs. He bettered his astana teammate and overall race leader, alberto contador, by 31 seconds at the end of a 17.1-kilometre climb up alto de navacerrada, but still trails the spaniard on the overall classification by 46 seconds. valvaerde was the day's biggest winner jumping to fifth overall after a stunning time trial.on the tipping front, pretty much everyone who put a tip in picked leiphiemer. with still only 20 sec between the top two places, it will come down to who picks the better sprinter. with no more categorised climbs, it looks like team creditless onthedole has wrapped up the mountain points competition.
