airstream said:The number of his REAL racing days doesn't annoy me. Before 2010 I really watched only GT's, so perhaps my cycling vision coincides with his. Most importantly, Andy's perfomances encourage me a long time in advance and his climbing is the most aesthetically beautiful thing in cycling. And surely he is a very interesting media personage.
You know that he and Frank are knock-kneed don't you? You're entitled to your view of what's beautiful of course. I think Contador's out of the saddle climbing and Petacchi's smooth sprinting style are the most beautiful things in the sport.
