BACKGROUND
The ASO can choose whoever they damn well like to ride their race, and even decide not to invite Americans who've got heads shaped like the back side of a spoon who're only popular because they look a bit like Lance. Nobody has an inherent right to ride the Tour de France. If they did, we'd have already started the website "GoOnLetUsRidePleaseGoOn.com"
Some other reasons why we're LITERALLY not bothered about whether Levi Leipheimer starts the Tour de France:
- He's the latest whiny American cyclist to start a global PR campaign at the first perceived slight against him. At least Landis had millions of dollars, a Tour win, and a career at stake.
- The race makes the riders, not the other way round. Levi's only a star because he wheelsucked his way around the Tour behind some Spanish guy and some Danish guy. The Tour will ALWAYS be great, no matter who's riding.
- He's gone and registered LetLeviRide.com as though it's a personal affront instead of the Tour de France opting not to invite a team who've brought scandal to the race for two years running.
- Levi is only Contador's domestique, dumbasses.
Let Levi cry all he likes. Nobody's listening.
