Lance videos on Livestrong.com
Not sure if you all are watching the Lance/Levi videos or not (https://www.livestrong.com/lance-armstrong/videos/), but in case you are not some of them are pretty interesting and I suggest checking them out. The Dave Z interview isn't for the kids, FYI.
One interesting thing Levi said was riders look online at pics and videos after the race to check out other riders. He mentioned that Menchov opted for light climbing wheels instead of aero wheels like most others. The stage had like 90 corners, so he was able to make quick accelerations out these corners. Menchovs choice is fascinating to me because some riders and teams completely missed the mark on what to ride, wear (hot TT helmets??) and whether to use clip-on aero bars. Mick Rogers is completely out of it, in part, due to technical choices.

Its been interesting following his videos and twitters, he's certainly been all over the place.
One thing I am surprised of though is that he hasn't had dinner with his close family friend Dr Ferrari. That really isnt a good way to treat close family friends, especially when they know you have crossed the atlantic and are in their country.
