sanluca said:I have to say, I would question the merits of Armstrong making a public critical assessment of his teammate. I don't think that has happened in cycling too often...aside from Cunego / Simoni you would need to go back as far as LeMond / Hinault.
jayjaynng said:I had understood and hoped that Lance would concentrate on riding and winning the Gyro for the first time for himself, and then help Alberto to win the Tour de France. This would add to his legacy and show that he can be an unselfish team rider who can give as good as he takes, as he did in California. But maybe he's just keeping the other riders guessing as to what his true Gyro plans are. Or just maybe he's doing a mind game on L'Equipe. They deserve it!
In any case, it's going to be a fascinating cycling season, the crowds will double, the TV coverage will triple, and TV sponsors will return because people are again paying attention to cycling. All due to Lance.

The way Contador has performed on the bike in the last 12 months has been exceptional...his performance in the Giro, given his lack of preparation, was incredible. Despite Contadors mistake in Paris Nice, he demonstrated he was in excellent condition. Armstrong recongised this....and I believe there is only one rider in Astana who is nervous. And it isn't Contador.

Amen to that.Mr.DNA said:I don't think there's any chance of him getting caught until he dares to walk out from under The Hog's umbrella.
