Who will be the top US Olympic Roadie finisher?

[bluegoose]

Until 4 weeks ago I would have said Levi is the clear choice. Now, I suspect it will be a last second decision between Levi and Christian, depending on who is really feeling it early on.

Does anyone know who is managing the team during the Olympics? That may have some bearing on the dynamics of the race.

The race is scheduled for Saturday morning (Aug 9th), btw, for anyone who hadn't heard. And coincidentally my birthday. How 'bout the boys bring home a gold for my present this year?

I bet Levi. CVV just came out of the TdF and will be tired. Levi should be fresh. But what do I know? Look at my TdF prognostication.

You beat the poll, creek. Lets hope Levi is as fast on the bike as you are on the reply.

I still went back and voted, though.

I've had the avatars turned off here for over a year. Had you seen that picture before this morning?

It really is a gem, isn't it?

Mine are off too. Is that a current photo? Weird dude, but fast.

I have had the picture up a few weeks. I found it on the nbcolympics site so I assume it is as recent as he has. Very creepy look he is giving.

I read Z's blog today. He spends at least a paragraph talking about how after his vertebrae fracture, he tried to have a bowel movement.

One of the funnier bicycling related things I have ever read was from about 2005 or 2006 when Bicycling published an interview of Floyd Landis by David Z. It was hilarious. They were rooming togther in Europe while training for their teams and Zabriskie is a very funny guy. Weird, but funny. And fast.
