Levi Leipheimer Responds To Not Being Invited To ASO Cycling Events
Third placed rider in Tour the France 2007, American cycling champion Levi Leipheimer, reacts on the non-selection of Astana in ASO races in 2007:
“I am in shock and very disappointed. Along with my friends, family and supporters, I can’t understand why we are not allowed to take part in the Tour and defend Alberto’s title with two other riders capable of winning, myself included. We are all left wondering. I chose this team because it was a very new team, which I have already experienced. I stand by my decision to be part of the new Astana team for 2008. In a supportive manner, the entire team will fight back. The many encouragements I already received today mean a lot to me.”

I can only find two words to describe the ASO decision. BULL SHIT!!!! Without yourself and the Astana Team in this years tour, it’s simply a sham. I’m trying to watch but I feel like I’m watching the minor leagues. I guess I’ll get more done around the house during this tour. Usually I’m glued to the the tv and the computer following every detail of the tour. This year, I’m just not interested. I think I’ll go pull some weeds now, perhaps I’ll go for a ride later. I feel like riding my motorcycle instead of my bike. I’m just discourage all the way around.
