    That is precisely the quoted remark that makes him sound very petty. Leipheimer had a fractured fibula not too long ago. He did not gain 20 lbs, that means he is "playing possum" and the fracture must not disrupt his training.

    It's a compliment to Levi's abilities that he's still a threat.

    Does not sound like he is joking (I did not see that NBC interview, jobob did; I read the article in VeloNews). But in this other interview he also casts some doubts about the leg being broken (forward to 1:35): http://video.bicycling.com/video/Chr...-of-California

    Anyway, the man who won today is amazing! I managed to catch the final sprint.

    I just watched yesterday's stage - we went to watch on Coleman Valley and you can clearly see us and, more clearly my awesome two tone vw beetle convertible, which we parked right past the KOM line!! We got inappropriately excited about that when we finally watched it just now.

    It's Em's giant blonde mane at 250m and my awesome car right over the top that stand out.

    Amici Veloci will represent somewhere on Diablo tomorrow, Kim was talking about somewhere along North Gate (that's the descent after the KOM at the junction). I'll go where I'm told.
