Chavanel in pink to complete his collection. Moncoutie equalling Laguia’s 5 mountain jerseys in the Vuelta. It'd be nice for Vanmarcke to win one of the smaller classics and/or top 10 Roubaix. Txurruka's first pro win. Boonen & Devolder doing well hopefully.

Also, how can anyone not like Alberto??

Zaschrona said:Contador himself said something like: "If I will get a ban, I'll end my career." That's all. I was only kidding, anyway.
And how I could like Alberto, when I like Frändy..

I know you're semi-joking, but I was never his biggest detractor and have always explained my Evans hate as such: He had ability, but never seemed to properly use it, and his conservative style of riding (in the 2005-2009 period) was excruciating to watch. Guys who attack in the mountains have always been my favorites, as opposed to TTers with climbing chops. When he started to attack, and climb, as opposed sit and wait, my dislike of him faded. I'm a reasonable and rational person in that respect. I'd hardly call myself a fanboy though, and I will continue to make snide comments about him to poke the ACF crowd, which is always great fun.
