No discussion of RadioShack/Leopard-Trek merger rumor?

I'm suspicious of Quick Step. Their focus is not what he does well.
And I don't see where beefing up their lineup for 'training race'
stage races is an asset for them.

Maybe they want Levi for his World Tour points.

Quickstep currently is near the bottom of the rankings, and although
Omega-Pharma-Lotto is near the top, most of their points leave with
Gilbert.

Remember all the machinations people talked about with Thor Hushovd
and his tour points when Garmin left him off the Vuelta squad?

Levi currently has more points than Thor does.

They want Levi for the smaller tours & as a contender in the TDF.

Contender for what? I don't see him as the Lanterne Rouge type.

Levi has capabilities. Tour of Utah. Tour of California. USA
Procycling Challenge. Tour de Suisse.

TdF contender? No, sorry. He's done with that, whether they or he
knows it or not .
