Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anyone have a real quote from Levi Leipheimer about basso + discovery?

Man, he must be so depressed. Everything I've read from him sounded like he thought he had a good chance to actually win the TDF this year with a strong team. And now he's supporting a 28 year old suspected drug user. Not saying Levi doesn't use drugs but still...

I have the quote:

"I am so upset about Basso joining our team. Honestly, it burns me up. Now excuse me while I go back to my multi-million dollar mansion and have 'relations' with my smoking hot wife." - Levi Leipheimer

Really? Smoking hot? i think people's standards are slipping. Show me a pic where she's smoking hot. All the ones I've seen she looks attractive and that's it. (disclaimer - my opinion)

This is the picture that I saw in another thread:


Is that his wife? She looks pretty hot, if you ask me. But then again, I've been faithfully married for 15 years, so maybe I'm not the best judge. Like they say, spaghetti is really good, but if you've eaten only spaghetti for 15 years, that Big Mac starts to look really good. . .

I've seen her in a LL interview. She's pretty hot.

But I wouldn't exactly call their house a "mansion".

Levi's wife collects cats - they have like six or seven of them...

I saw a quote somewhere about how she has one room in their house for cats, and he has another room for bike stuff.

I know my standards have slipped since coming to college. Levi's wife doesn't look that attractive to me. I go University of Missouri-Rolla, its an engineering school. The ratio is 4 guys to 1 girl. The term rolla hot was coined for a decent looking girl.

when the guy:girl ration is 4:1 EVERY girl suddenly looks hot.

I haven't been able to find it again but somewhere I saw an interview after Levi signed where he said there was a possibility they'd bring in a "high profile GC rider", but he didn't think it was likely. The impression I got from reading it was he clearly meant Basso or Ullrich.
