Specialized, Leipheimer called them after the Tour to announce his
transfer to the Discovery Channel team, effective January 1, 2007. "My
best results, wins at the Tour of Germany and Dauphiné Libéré,
happened on my S-Works Tarmac SL, but Discovery (Channel) made me an
offer I could not refuse," he was quoted as saying, while further
expressing his thanks for Specialized's support.
Gerolsteiner spokesman Mathias Wieland told www.Radsport-Aktiv.de, "We
had agreed with Levi that we would sit down together after the Tour and
make the decision. Levi wanted to know earlier, and told us that he was
having discussions with other teams."
Leipheimer is expected to ride the Deutschland Tour, where he is the
defending champion.
