Will Levi Ride the 2013 TOC?

[Boeing]

Is it possible a team will add him to a roster?

Something tells me AMGEN organizers want this.

Unless I missed recent news he is eligible now.

Better question is Should he?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

yes, he will ride otherwise the race will die.

yes, he will ride otherwise the race will die.

Who picks him up?


So some young hard working kid (presumably clean) gets to lose another roster spot for this guy? Now that is moving the sport forward.

where is the 'i don't give a xxxx' option?

levi is history and the toc is still just a 2 bit race

i only checked out the thread to see if others care

I don't mind the ToC but I too don't care if he rides it or not

 

[jaylew]

Rather extreme options, no? Count me as another in between those two extremes. Don't mind at all if he finds a ride, but won't be upset if he's not there.

Let levi ride Atoc page is gone now on facebook, that page was hilarious.

Exactly!

Why would anybody sign a 39 year old rider without any world tour points? The only way I would see it happening is if a sponsor would dictate so, but at this point, it would have already happened.

Do any teams with an invite have an open roster spot?

 

[argyllflyer]

Can his pals Frankie and Johnny not find him a slot somewhere?

 

[the asian]

He will be invited as a one man team. He won't have to carry bottles for anyone, but will have no teammates to suck wheels.
If he wins a stage with a solo attack the organizers will be paying him a bonus and guarantee him a place in the next edition.

Awww, man!? How can I answer this poll?

1. There's no Vino option.
2. I don't think he will, but not because I think he "embodies everything wrong"!





I always had mixed feelings about Levi, but in this matter, I'd like to see him ride again.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

If the folks from "rock racing with lamer jersey"(epofeul) still get a gig why not levi could be a question.

 

[cineteq]

Option 3. The 'Who cares?' option.

PS: Miburo, an emerging competition is on the rise, watch out my friend.

 

[jens_attacks]

if garmin is still in the game, let levi ride

 

[will10]

Are Andreu's team invited? Could see Levi riding for them.

mancebo and levi will suck wheels until complete exhaustion

still great riders both of them though

 

[Roderick]

I assume the first option is a sarcastic one?

 

[Jancouver]

Jelly Belly is not invited otherwise that would be a perfect fit for Levi. In all seriousness, I dont think there is a room for him unless he can convince Lance to let him ride with the Bontrager dev team.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

US domination cannot happen without this duo:

 

[Afrank]

His only chance at getting to compete is if one of the American teams picks him up. I have my doubts he'll get picked up though. Seems like if one of them were going to sign him it would have happened by now.
Would be nice to see him competing at Cali again, but I really could care less if is or isn't there.

BTW, threads like this make me miss Ryo.

how is that different than Vino

 

[Carols]

Yet another poll with no decent option to select No Vote!

 

[ElChingon]

There should be a website with, "Let Levi Retire!".

He's done for, even though some dream otherwise.

Just a little twist to simple yes and no answers.
