Alright...I'm asking you directly, who if not Contador? Do you have any other candidates whose victory you'd handle positively?

Like carols. ABS. But I would prefer Alberto over anyone.

ow, for godshake kirby should get a life. A lot of young rider in the peloton now had idolized amstrong when they were a kid, even tejay. His brit hero wiggo, also think so highly about amstrong. So if he was contador's idol when he was a kid, so what?

Do you doubt some spanish channels comment diffrerently?

I don't doubt they do it differently.

Of course all commentators are nationalistic to some extent. Some just more than others.

At least Spanish channels have Movistar or Katusha + ......
You should watch Spanish TVs once in a while.

Sure because Great Britain has only 1 big favorite. Sky is a team phenomenon of last years so they deserve numerous mentions.
