Betancur just wanted to show that he's just fat and not lazy. I still think he's lazy.
I am Colombian, and love to see Los Escarabajos perform, but Betancur is young and just using his raw talent, and in the long run this will not suffice. He needs to be more disciplined!!!

Nice win by Carlos,imo he has a serious shot at winning a classic,but its all about training like you said;)
...the thing about Betancur being like Schleck is frightening but I thought about it too yesterday and according to last news he is not that far of his mentality.

I hope the Fat Cat shows up as the Big Cat this July.

what's weird about that? the guy is 24 so he didn't see before armstrong era and riders in colombia usually never even watch cycling in europe so they only know 1 or 2 big names. one of them being lance.

What is weird about it is that lance armstrong is a disgraced name in the sport because it turned out the clinic was right. It's emerged that he was a evil bully and therefore not a good role model for anyone. Being a cyclist in Europe the last few years, betancur knows this but seems to not care, continuing to hold as his hero a bad person. Not to mention that Armstrong cheated other cyclist so it suggests maybe Betancur doesn't think cheating is wrong.
