Vino going for time bonuses?

He could pop over Levi for 5th.

He won't get them. Credit Agricole, Cofidis and Davitamon-Lotto will be
all over those tomorrow.

Vino just TWO seconds behind Levi, will be interesting for bonuses
tomorrow, GC now:

But au contraire, I bet you that Credit Agricole gives him a leadout
in order to convince him to join them next year. As far as I'm
concerned,
they already showed their bad faith by failing to make any effort
yesterday to preserve Christophe Moreau's 10th place. I think Vino
should stay away from them. Even though Ag2r is not as strong on paper,
they are much more professional, in my opinion, and he should consider
rejoining this team.

It would be in Credit Agricols interest if Vinukurov gets them - it
would mean fewer point's to tale for McEwan and O'Grady. Hushovd and
CA really want's the green jersy.

Ideally anyone, but O'Grady and McEwen get them, however, suppose
O'Grady gets there first an Vino, and/or anyone but Thor mop up the
rest, it's undesireable. They'll probably send Moreau up the road with
Thor in tow, something like this, to try to mop them up.

The rascal did go for it, with Gerolsteiner all over it.
