Levi Leipheimer of Team Astana moved from fourth place in the Giro d'Italia into third place with an amazing time trial performance today. More importantly, he moved from 1'40" out of first to only 40" behind new leader Dennis Menchov. Here's hoping Levi can take over the lead and cross the finish line in Rome with the magalia rosa!General classification of the Giro after stage 12
