From Cycling Weekly today

I was a little surprised to read this today

Having been focussed on the break-up up the ten man lead group, the TV cameras suddenly shot back to the bunch as Condator fired himself off the front.

Although this initially caught his rivals napping, it was only a matter of seconds until Fabian Cancellara took to the front to pull team mates Frank and Andy Schleck back up to him, along with Cadel Evans.

Following the phoney war of the Pyrenees, it wouldn't have been a surprise for that to be the end of matter. But refreshed from the Tour's second rest day (and all that that might imply), Contador wasn't going to let it rest there. After a brief sortie by team mate Benjamin Noval, he went once again.

That was rather thinly veiled I thought.

Yeah Cycling Weekly and Cycle Sport, really hate Contador but love Frank for example.

Edit: As was mentioned in a thread in the clinic, only AC does it!

I realise I may have put this in the wrong place, but my point was more about the journalism/legal position rather than the rider and implication.

Good to see some logical level-headed journalism.

There's alot of snide remarks in those mags about certain riders. One of the writers for both used to be on the Cyanide forums back in the day(Ruben may remember him from there too) and if I remember the guy was a big Lance fan.

Thanks for that. I did wonder. I'm not au fait with the nuances of cycling journalism. As my username implies I am an armchair fan, albeit one of 25 years.
