As I sit here watching the Vs. TdF replay, after having watched the live broadcast this morning (what can I say, I am a geek for this stuff I am constantly bothered by a vision of the future without an American contender. look at the top young rider category. No American is contending for the jersey. Levi is our only GC hopeful and he is not even mentioned by the Traut or Bobke or the boys and is ignored elsewhere in the international media. How many years will any channel broadcast the race to the US of stinkin NASCAR A without an American having a clear chance to win? I figure a Levi victory is good for a few more years at least and even a podium finish should get us at least two years.
