Cuz that victory was dedicated to his incoming child...
ManInFull said:Yeah, I am only concerned because Versus/OLN will stop broadcasting it in the US if there aren't enough psuedo-fans in the US who want to watch it. Most of the psuedo-fans are already anti-Contador--they don't like his "El Pistelro" hand gesture and they believe that he wasn't a good teammate of the greatest American cyclist ever, LA.
AC could endear himself a little more if he would speak to the interviewers in English. I don't know if he knows English or not--maybe he just isn't comfortable enough to use it in public. It doesn't matter to me, but I think that has an effect on how Americans feel. Most of my friends who are cycling fans pull for American cyclists or a foreigner who speaks English.
I'm in France right now and it's interesting to see guys like Cadel Evans speak in French to the interviewers.
El Pistolero don't talk in english cuz he doesn't want that the newspapers or the tv news and the reporters misunderstand his words and the real meaning that they have... also his english is quite bad but he is improving it...
