Astana teammates Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner will be racing in the Bend Memorial Clinic Cascade Cycling Classic . The five-day race will take place in and around Bend, Oregon, on July 9-13.
Hope the folks in bend can cheer them on .... and maybe the EE team can present the lads with a t-shirt!

Both of those guys should (!!!) be in France, not Oregon. Anyway, I wish them luck in the race.

They SHOULD indeed be in the TdF but Astana ( their team) has been banned therefore they will be racing around Bend for a week! Great chance to catch some TdF stars

I’ll naturally root for them to get second a friend I went to school with. But yeah, they should definitely be over in France.

Levi won the CASCADE CYCLING CLASSIC! Too bad team EE was not able to get some pix! I should have sent team ee an email to give them a heads up. next time

It really is a shame that Astana was banned from the Tour. I think that Levi would have had an excellent chance this year. It is still great fun to watch, and we can root for Columbia and Garmin/Chipotle (mmmmm… burritos).

I agree. I am sure Levi would have been on the podium in this year’s TdF. class act. great rider.
