im sure there are a few there that could use a little "support" by her after a hard day of stressful
work. nothing like a little stress relief to give a good nights sleep......

This year? I don't know.
Last year El Bimbo was cheering the Rabo riders with pom poms and got one of the stuck in Dekker's
rear wheel on Mt. Ventoux. He had to stop - I can't recall whether he had to get a bike change or
took the time to remove it.

Odessa should be partnered with Roll on OLN. I sugest that everyone send a letter to that effect to
OLN. Odessa in 04!!! And Roll gets to pick her on air outfits.

If you do a google search for images with her name I bet she gets as many results returned as a

It does not. I tried it. Just three or four photos from her racing days and one from cyclingnews.com

I was joking. There used to be close to a dozen photos of her at any given time on cyclingnews.com
but I have not looked lately. I am not really a fan. The photo shoot I was actually referring to was
a large article in Procycling featuring Levi. He was training with his Colnagos and was running an
SRM while doing speedwork behind her scooter. Back when I saw it, I noticed that she was in more
than half of the photos. I sort of wondered to myself if the photographer or editor was a fan of
hers. With her announcement that is staying, I realized that she probably inserted herself in to
most of the photos and the editor simply had no choice but to include her. If I run a across the
article again I will count the total photos and how many she appears in.

And in every photo, she was in a different outfit. Levi went out for a training ride, so you could imagine he'd change clothes. But why did she change so many times? Cat hair?
She looks kind of like Courtney Love in that shoot.

LOL, I never thought of that. In one of the photos she's holding her cat, and I kept thinking of
that Mad TV sketch with Larry Flynt. "He wanted to see my Muff. He wanted to see my Box..." I get
the feeling Levi just can't believe he's landed this woman and wants everyone to know JUST HOW LUCKY
HE IS, DAMMIT!

How pathetic.
Some other poster has mentioned how she was in every picture in a Cycle Sport from a while back. The
same thing can be seen in a somewhat recent ProCycling. She is in almost every picture, but if that
isn't bad enough, the really pathetic thing is that she changes clothes for the different pictures
(you can tell they were taken in the same afternoon, though, cause Levi is wearing the same thing,
even drinking from the same cup). She's changing her outfit like she's on the damn runway and the
story isn't even about her.
In related news, have you ever seen anyone who looked more like a Martian than Levi?

I remember that article and thinking how cheesy she is and what a dork he
is. But one thing I also noticed is that in every picture of them together, she's always in
front of him!

Marlene,
Do you see anything to attract you to Levi? I had always thought that
dork to me, but what do I know? I suppose the appeal to her is that she gets to be involved with
"bike pros", which would mean a lot to an ex biker chick, am I correct?
