It seems implied in that CN article that Bennati won't ride the Giro- Contador wants him but Sagan also does.

In the giro this is way less important than the tour anyways.

For the sponsors, but the Giro-Tour double is way more important than just the Tour for Contador. I think he reckons if I pull it off then I'm the best GT winner of all-time. If I only win the Tour then I'm merely great. Being already "great," he really has no other option than to become a legend. And to attempt to do so, with everything already achieved, especially in today's hyper-specialized and financial sport, is itself a sign of courage accompanied by that touch of brazenness (folly?), without which apotheosis remains elusive.

I think Miburo meant that flat workhorses are less important at the Giro. And Alberto will have monster Toso with him anyway. I hope for a spot on the team for Manuele too.

Dear Contador nutters.

Well its the new year, and personally I don't care for that (just a change of a number). But I did read in a different sub forum today that key Cycling Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar Echoes, who wants this thread finished because he doesn't like it, is counting the number of days this thread is active.

As someone who is very opposed to censorship and bullying, I ask that throughout this year, if anyone sees that this thread is going inactive for a significant number of hours, please post in it to ensure it keeps going.
That way, when Mullah Echoes does his counting 364 days from now, he won't have very many days to record and an important blow to this kind of medieval mentality will be dealt.

Thank you for your time.

The Hitch.

I'll do my best although I believe with this being possibly the 2nd most posted in and viewed thread in the cn forum probably is enough to give Echoes a perpetual aneurysm of frustration which is pure satisfaction for me. The amount of love and hate to engender such attention and resulting dialogue is a testament to Contador's greatness!
