Lol, 5 riders puling Levi on the downhill. Unlucky... might affect him tomorrow

 

[Beech Mtn]

Well it must be spring now. The garden gnome has toppled over, not once but twice today. First sign of spring last year was a Levi crash.

 

[Gloin22]

LEVI is 1 minute behind the peleton

Movistar pushing fast pace, obviously seeing Levi at the back

He seems in good spirits though.

 

[Publicus]

So he's 55" behind the peloton. That's kind of huge for the overall.

EDIT: Moose you win the thread today

Movistar driving like crazy while Leipheimer is behind...

Movistar driving like crazy while Leipheimer is behind...

Yeah right...they are hardly even gaining time on De Gendt. Movistar is just controlling the pace and not riding full out

 

[cineteq]

Levi's 50 sec. back

 

[Beech Mtn]

Of course he's in good spirits. Tommeke is a "more fun" teammate than a certain compatriot from recent years.

Not also that, but if he catches up, the effort most likely cost him any chance of winning tomorrow.

 

[Gloin22]

I think they Levi will catch up the peleton, although the effort lost might cost him the change of winning PN, unlikely as it was

 

[cocteau_ireland]

Movistar driving like crazy while Leipheimer is behind...

Quite right too He's a horrible wee man

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Whoa. Who is that at the back who almost lost it again on that descent!

That wheel skip looked scary. I can't tell - my French TV feed is a bit blurry.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Levi still at 55 seconds.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Levi's team is gapping him a bit on the descent

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Leipheimer is descending like a little girl again

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Levi on the wrong bike hanging off the back?

 

[jens_attacks]

movistar has balls no doubt.they will be criticised but i like it

levi is terrible bad

 

[cineteq]

Leipheimer is descending like a little girl again

Don't insult the little girls please.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

LOL

Wuyts claiming Leipheimer can descend

 

[Gloin22]

Levi's descending is awesomely bad

 

[Publicus]

Bottle is struggling to keep up.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Levi is trying to emulate the descending greatness that is Frank Schleck

 

[spalco]

THey're letting Leipheimer back it seems.

eta: or not. Maybe I read the times wrong.

 

[Fetisoff]

And the motorcycle takes it!!!
