How come?

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

How come?

How come when Robbie McEwen does this pose after a win, he looks like a bad ass,



But Levi looks like a dork?

Bad a$$ is a state of mind too. I ain't got it so, I'm typing on my keyboard and wondering if I'm going to ever place in a cat 5 race while Levi is winning pro tour stages. Regardless of looks, he's still bad a$$ in my book of accomplishments.

Well, let's see. At that moment, he is the one who gets to point to himself, and Robby (behind him somewhere), does not.

Regardless of what he looks like, he is the bada$$ for the day.

something tells me he's pointing to his jersey and he just happens to be wearing it.
