Darrylc said:As am now an EX fan of Armstrong, could there be a Sticky Contador Thread. If Lance has one, Alberto deserves one too.
Belokki said:EX fan?
You're just a fad-fan...
Darrylc said:I think that for someone who has been watching the tour since the late 80's can hardly be called fad fan.
Love the fact that have only just joined today yet you already know me. What a talent you have.![]()
BigBoat said:Contador really needs to take advantage in the mountains to DUMP lance, because Lancer has a higher total power output than him for the flat TT.
Smera1 said:Even so, I don't believe Armstrong will beat Contador in the final ITT, given the progress he made on that discipline, culminating being the national champion on his country. Time will tell.

Sure, but Schleck? Kloden? Menchov? ...BigBoat said:I would like to stop Lance in a diff way than Contador...![]()
Smera1 said:Hi Thought,
Me too. Bet a beer on that![]()
Thoughtforfood said:I don't drink anymore, but if I did I'd buy you one if you turn out to be correct.
hfer07 said:I was checking the next week stages, and there are two critical stages to look forward - 13 & 15- where Contador will do some serious damage-and most importantly is that he'll be set to attack doe to the Schleck brothers aiming the same stages to get back some time on him & LA......
Publicus said:Stage 13 is done without race radios too. Should be a very interesting day.
"My legs cannot betray me even once," Contador told Reuters on Sunday in the plane taking him and Tour riders to Limoges for the race's first rest day.
"If I have a bad day, they (his rivals) are likely to take advantage of that to make the difference."

Hotbrakes said:I wish Contador had switched to another team, that would make this Tour alot more interesting. But would he be as good with out the help of JB? I think at the moment he is the best on the bike, but not as good with the off bike politics. His desicion to help Valverde win the Dauphine was his best move yet. It might come in handy when at the end of the Tour he has no friends on Astana.
