Is it just me that had the impression that even guys like Contador and Rodriguez were just trying to survive those ridiculously steep climbs like the Cuitu Negro? Is it just me findint it ridiculous that the best climbers in the world have to craw climbs like that, intead of race them...

Oh, that would be wonderful! But then, if they really decide to "clean" the spanish riders, there would be very few riders still racing out there... well, I guess that's why they don't it anyway... :rolleyes:

Well, I'm not a Contador fan, but lately was hoping he wouldn't get any ban. It is bad for cycling, it is bad for the races. With AC racing, the races gets more interesting. But after just reading his haemoglobin story...

I need you to ride, ride fast on the descent and easy on the climbs Vaughters just ordered his guys doing this: 'I need you to ride, ride fast on the descent and easy on the climbs'. http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/feature-garmin-cervelos-dramatic-day-at-the-tour-de-france It seems...

Jesus Christ! I was starting to believe cycling is really getting cleaner... it seems it is just getting more sophisticated!!! Well, it was the naive man in me speaking louder! Just read this article (http://www.whatsonxiamen.com/ent2995.html) which says this thymosin beta 4 drug (main...

Isn't time for the UCI figure out that simply it's not possible that the country federantions decide whether a rider is guilty on doping? For me, it's clear that, cannot say all, but some federations, specially the Spanish one, doesn't want its national heroes to be jugded fairly and...

If one doesn't play fair with something, he tends not to play fair with everything. It's human nature. That simple. Drawing this for you so you may understand: if one, having the chance, steal a pen, do you think, this same one, having the opportunity, will he steal a diamond? Think... I don´t...

It´s hard to believe that Contador doped with such a detectable product, but he's already proved he doesn't play fair (remember him attacking while Schleck was trying to fix his dropped chain), so I figure it is quite possible he's not playing fair again (by doping).

It is funny read that Gérard Holtz called Contador a great champion. Great champions play fair, which is of course something Contador does´t even know what it means.

I have carefully watched what happened yesterday and can say I can´t believe how unfair that situation was. First AS didn´t shift when his chain came off and second, AC clearly kept pushing the pace, several times looking back to see the gap and keeping pushing. How AC talks about fair play...

Just read Riis interpretation to the occurred. It's quite weird what he said, specially he being the one losing as much as AS with AC lack of class. My guesses: he's saying that because he knows he's losing AS (AS is most certainly joining this new team they are forming) and IT IS KNOWN HE IS...

It´s incredible that I´m reading so many guys defending Contador´s behavior... put yourself into AS shoes: would it be fair WITH YOU if your major rival takes advantage of a situation like this? Everyone who says so has, at minum, no sense of fairness.

That was incredibly unfair... it seems Andy was dropping Contador and likely put a lot of time on him when Contador took advantage of such a situation... if Contador win this Tour, it will be completely unfair... he does not deserve the win and doing something like this, showing the kind of...

I´ve been taking a look at this year TdF stages and am shocked that the stages seem not as hard as they are used to be, despite several riders saying this year tour is much harder than last year. Mean, just 3 mountain top finishes and still all short in length (under 200k). But lots of...

I´m looking forward for this year Tour ladder. Will we have one? My guesses are these: 1) Contador: should win the Tour. He will face strong competetion specially from RadioShack team (not necessarily from LA) and Basso, but will still show up altogether way stronger than the others. 2)...
