Anyone else think we saw a clean Leipheimer for the last couple of weeks?

It would explain the stellar TT result in stage 20...

edit: Can't believe I didn't go for the CleanBottle joke right there.

There is their new campaign. I should pitch them on it.

Hard to day because I honestly don't remember seeing Leipheimer at all the last three weeks. Except, of course, for those lame Road ID commercials.

I have no idea what this thread is about. Is Levi in trouble or is this just commentary on his below mediocre results as compared to his regular slightly above mediocre results?

He usually puts in a good TT. Seeing him in 70th place is a little odd.

I always like to see Levi in the mix but it's more a matter of USA/Cali pride and the knowledge that he's a pretty good guy than actually being a fan.

As for why he didn't get more exposure this year, unfortunately he's just not that exciting to watch even when he's among the top guys, let alone down on the leaderboard. He doesn't launch hard attacks or otherwise ride with enough panache to get many people to pay attention unless he's threatening for the podium or to win.

Maybe he's just too...nice?

I look forward to seeing him attach like a lamprey to the wheel of a domestic pro for a hundred miles and then take the win right at the line...
There's 2 ITTs at that race, and then what looks like a couple of no super steep mountain stages. He'll probably have it in the bag. I think I read that Basso was going to do that race as well.
