Yeah Trac- those guys are FAST!! I've had Levi and his crew pass me a couple of times when I was out training for a marathon. I could hear them coming like a freight train! And when they blew by me... Well, yeah they BLEW by me!! I actually felt a gust of wind!!
But yeah, Levi is super cool. One day I was out running and I saw him in a parking lot getting ready for a ride. I slowed down and said "Congrats on a great tour Levi". It was prolly late summer or early fall after he had placed really well in the tdf. He looked SHOCKED that not only did I know who he was, but I knew how well he had done!!
Like I said, a VERY nice, and VERY humble guy!! He's had a rough tour up to now, and he sure is being gracious about it.

hey tprevost... we can go searching for him together... I hear he likes riding in Fallbrook! :D There have been numerous people who have had a guy pull alongside in Phonak gear... and then they realize WHO it is... one guy I know said Floyd rode with him for a few miles chatting before Floyd said bye and just FLEW off the front... LOL
I've been waiting ALL DAY to read this since I hadn't yet seen the Tour... and right at the end of the day the online news HAD THE OUTCOME! :eek: AAAAAARGH! :mad:
what a GREAT stage this was... man, Floyd didn't even look like he was working that hard... and Levi... hats off to him. What a comeback... I desperately want to see him podium! there was part of me that feels bad for the French Maillot Jaune as it would have been a HUGE deal for him to wear the jersey tomorrow on Bastille Day. Unbelievable that the time bonus was the difference... I guess every second DOES count. I am bummed that George isn't on his game... wonder if he'll even fight now or if he has mentally caved? He's gotta be hugely disappointed too. I hope he fights anyway, and rides his best no matter where he ends up...
I got to meet all three of these guys at the Tour of CA and I have to say, ALL of them were very, very nice, friendly and courteous... I was just one of thousands of fans there so it was pretty cool that they didn't pull any bigshot stuff. Levi even signed my brother's new Gerolsteiner frame! :D And my denim jacket... ;)
Anyway, I love this part of the Tour now... I have to admit, during the sprint stages I sometimes struggle not to doze off... but during the mountains... man, I'm ALL amped up! :D

BC68,
I'm sure George will need a little TLC after the tour... does he still have your number ;)
btw, WHERE is the picture that someone took of you w/George in the spring... huh huh huh???
Trac' :p
