I thought surely he would say something about meeting a constituent half way around the world, but he did not. I'll be gnereous, maybe he was jet lagged. I'll not comment on whatI thnk of him now. As a retired military officer I am still subject to the Uniform Code of Mlitary Justice and saying what I really think could come back to bite me in the a**.
Now back on topic - I agree with stallion, it will be interesting to see if Levi can hold that form up to and through a GT. I for one hope he can and does.
While I hate off-topic tangents in threads, thanks for that story! It's really interesting to hear. (Did you see Stephen Colbert's roast of Bush by any chance? I thought the comment on the generals and Rhumsfeld was hilarious)
As for Levi, I'd love to see him win the TDF, but there's no way Bruyneel's letting him do that over Basso. But maybe we'll get to see an Hinault-Lemond type race, that was pretty exciting!
