Levi Comes Down with Bad Case of the Smiles

Didn't Bruyneel warn him about this kind of behavior?

Smiles up 1000%

If you've followed bike racing for a while you know that pro cyclists often appear to have the emotional range of Data on Star TrekC the next generation.

The smile is the hottest new accessory for pro cyclists doing on cam interviews. Where did they larn it from? Certainly not from their cardboard cutout predecessors (see: anything written or said by Ivan Basso for an instant nap--and he's one of the sport's most controversial figures).

Shows you how progressive cycling is that this hasn't occured to anyone before.
