For Sky, not focusing on the Tour = Does not compute?
I actually find it quite odd that people doubt Contador about this. He's been pretty clear setting his stall out. What will he gain if he backs out now? Apart from dissembling about immediate tactics on the road - and who wouldn't in an interview so as not to alert your rivals? - he's always struck me as pretty honest / direct about his plans.
Seems to be a lot of over-analysis of this double stuff, as if he's some kind of **** Dastardly character with a 'cunning plan' to wrong-foot his rivals. Maybe I'm naive, but I just take it at face value - he wants a new challenge to rise to and, without underestimating how much he probably still enjoys winning them, and indeed, wants to win the Tour at least once more, 'yet another GT' just isn't enough at this point in his career.
Guess we'll see come May.
