For now, the Belgian leader of the Lotto-Belisol team is one place ahead of his the fifth place overall that he ended the 2010 Tour de France in. He is 3'12” behind Vincenzo Nibali before today's stage and it would take an extraordindary performance from the climber for him to finish on the podium. But he's still in a strong position to finish the 2012 Tour in fourth.
