In what will probably be my last post this year concerning Levi Leipheimer, I felt it necessary to trumpet his plight as a cyclist before he resumes his off season job as the vocalist for Mongo's favorite band...Tool.
LBM is getting the shaft with Astana. (Don't even get me started about my boy, AK47) Anyway...with Contador, Kloden, Mellow Johnny, and maybe Vinokourov on the team, the only race Levi's going to win in the future is the Tour of California.
Leipheimer's been a great team player for many years, but his days on a bike at the highest level are numbered. He is at the top of his game and deserves the opportunity to see if he has a Grand Tour win left in him. An American team like Garmin or Columbia would be perfect.
Mongo is announcing today a new campaign that will hopefully allow this to happen. Ladies and gentlemen..."LET LEVI GO"
All correspondence in this matter can be addressed to...Team Astana c/o "The Weasel & The Russkies"
