In this year's Tour, now that Armstrong has dropped from contention, Levi Leipheimer has the best chance for team Radio Shack, and Armstrong now rides to support Leipheimer.

Originally Posted By tashajilek Oh no i am not bashing him at all. I think he did go out with one of them, i think it was Mary Kate? Believe me Lance got the raw end of the deal going out with one of them nutty twins.

And he let them take pictures, so my friend has a head on shot of him racing right next to Lance. That doesn't sound like a jerk to me.

Anecdotal stories are used as evidence that they're a great person or a jerk. We don't know these people at all. Not by a long shot. We have no clue what motivates them, what their personalities are like, etc. We are in the dark, yet we talk as if we're friends or at least acquaintances with these people.

Keep in mind there are pins from DL, WDW, DLP, TDR, HKDL. Yeah, you could go to eBay and probably buy it, but the trading is part of the fun, or at least it's supposed to be.
