Did anyone notice the CBS snub of Levi?

Right at the end of their 1 hour special on the Tour, Bob Neumeier was commenting on the continuing legacy of American cycling at the Tour (or some such nonsense) as they brought up a graphic of the other American finishers and their positions.

The first rider he named was George. He then went on to name all the others who finished behind George, skipping any mention of Levi Leipheimer.

Now THAT, was a little bizarre.

it just proves how clueless the mainstream sports media is to cycling (or other so-called "foreign" sports). maybe his name doesn't sound American. he should change it to **** Johnson.
