You want Leipheimer? I got yer Leipheimer right here.

Yesterday’s crit was phenomenal. In a Toyota v. Leipheimer/Horner battle, Toyota came out on top. Not to worry, Levi was showered with adoration afterward. The fan-lust was seriously impressive. 

I’m under a time crunch here and my laptop is starting to go through death throes :( but I spent last night repairing critical errors so that I could bring you these images.


Horner drives the pace.


LOVE the concentration tongue on Levi here. Also, hott bike.


Mixing it up.


The Toyota boys took over about 45 minutes in.


Epic battle: Horner v. Toyoya!


This lucky little cutie got to fondle Levi’s bike. Looks like she also took home hardware in the kiddie race.


Levi in yellow.


He was a real class-act afterward, signing autographs and taking lots of fan pictures.
The mob around him was impressive.


Me next, Levi!  Me next!!

 

I’ve got photos of Kman in the Cat 2 crit, Sal Collura in the Cat 2 Masters crit, and some of the local Veloforma girls duking it out, but you’ll have to wait!  If things go according to plan, I am going to do something very cool today. More Cascade Classic lovin’ later.

    Thanks for this post and the photos. We were watching from the corner of Lava and Franklin. It was soooo exciting being there, but….It’s about a 45 degree turn and we saw some nasty crashes. Hope those guys are ok. We’re thinking about them!
