The Tour of Californ I A
Who is going to watch it? And what are your bets on the wiener? I've got Levy for a three-peat.

I've got my money on Levi again, even though I prefer someone else to take it. Anyone else really.

Yeah Tuft would be cool.
I'm pulling for Zabriskie. I'm hoping this is his year to FINALLY realise his enormous potential.

I'll be there Saturday at the Prologue wearing my "Let Levi Ride '08" t-shirt that I got last year.
Levi FTW.

Because his schedule has been crazy for the past 5 months (dope trials, securing sponsors/teams, speaking engagements) he hasn't been able to give 100% effort towards training. Friend of mine keeps in contact with him and said this... Makes sense to me.

That dosent mean it wont show up and race hard. Just that his fitness might not be there to compete with those guys (yet).

Watching the finish in Santa Rosa on Sunday, then riding up Altamont to watch the peloton come over on Tuesday.
I'll be the guy with the Bear Republic flag in front of the windmills... I figure that's my best shot of getting on TV.
