Without a doubt he is better off without the Schlecks and with Contador. This is a statement of the obvious. My observation from this years tour is that A Schleck rode a better race without F Schleck. He spent less time looking round wondering where big brother was and just got on with...

Doh s***for......, you shouldn't appologise for misinterpreting a misleading thread title. Nor should other people appologise or attempt to explain posts on your behalf.

I love the speciality glasses that go with the beers, I think that it makes the drink. A few years ago over here the local off licences went through a phase of doing packs of 3 bottles of beers with a glass thrown in. I collected quite a few.. just checked the cupboard and am now down to just...

There is no way that Mont Ventoux is 'in the Alps' as you stated earlier. Everyone knows where the Alps are and Mont Ventoux is not 'in the Alps'. It's like saying Stanstead is in London. Of course it is linked to London by a train line but it is not 'in London'. Yes there is the Haute...

No idea where this years Etape will be but petty sure that Ventoux is in Provence, stands on its own, bit of a way to the Alps, AKA 'Giant of Provence'. If it was in the Alps it would be known as the 'Pimple of the Alps'.

I was about to post to let you know who is going to win but decided to keep it to myself and put some money on at the bookies - don't want to shorten the odds. As a matter of interest has anyone who has posted put their money where there mouth is?

And Specialized will surely chip in with a wheels deal.

Yes it does. Everyone has coach who try to get the best out of people and nutrition and sustinance is a very impprtant part of it. I think that we are all aware that in most cases there is a very thin dividing line between the allowable performance enhancing and health damaging...

It must be well out of season as they don't look in great shape. Looks more like me and my mates on our annual trip to a decent sized mountain. Who is the guy in the black and yellow kit sporting the pot belly? Was he a contender this year?

I know who you really are ........ you are Donald Rumsfeld.

Love it!!! He was an immense talent.

Agreed, Contador is so far ahead. Great record: Giro, Tour, Vuelta, Tour (TBC), ... lots of smaller stage races. Would have won last year if he hadn't been on a dodgy team. Same dodgy team couldn't even stop him this year!

Your posts are full of contradictions. The reason that I would expect total dedication to one team leader is because Lance Armstrong is on the team and JB is the DS/Head Honcho. How is this any different to a Postal/Disco set up. Moto 'All for one and one for one' - the two mouseketeers...

I'll take a big punt and go for Contador joining the Cervelo Test Team (with new sponsors). This punt is triggered by the Alonso connection who I belive has spent time with CTT - so I am riding off the back of this post. And I think it would be an excellent fit if Satsre and the back bone of...

It's not Contador's job to help his team mates onto the podium. He is the No.1 and they should be helping him retain the yellow jersey, that's all that matters. When, Contador punctured/had mechanical today only Kloden dropped back. Did Postal, Discovery etc wory about getting Heras, Landis...
