“The Bore” takes it again…
If ToC is anything to go by, please, please, please, don’t let Levi ride in Le Tour. I can’t take 19 stages of waiting and two time trial performances followed by smug looks from the impish Levi…
Congratulations for winning the overall race Levi, but you do it with such little style - even Lance, EVEN GREG attacked at least one day during a race.
Please don’t take our respect for granted, you are a truly gifted cyclist - show us that your talent isn’t following wheels alone.

Yeah, I’d rather not see him again either.

You guys do not know what you are talking about. He is one of the top three time trailist in the world and one of the top three climbers in the world. I do not call that wheel sucking. And what he looks like—- he looks like a winner!

Hi GP, thanks for your comment and I agree with your points - Levi is a great TT and climber - no question. Further, riding a TT you don’t suck wheel - agreed.
However, Levi wins in a predictable way and follows the wheels to the win. This years ToC was the same as last years. He didn’t attack once. I can only remember one attack by him in last years TdF too and he sat up - maybe that was a team order.
The point I was making is that he is a great cyclist, no doubt. But he isn’t a great champion, yet. I hope he can be one this year by showing us his ability. And this years TdF, if he gets a race there, will be waiting for the 2 TT stages for him to attack having already seen him follow the wheels over all the mountains. It’s already predictable.
