In 3rd place for this Cyclingnews reader poll was 'Lance Armstrong drops Contador on the windy stage to La Grande-Motte in the Tour de France'
Am I the only one who really hates how cyclingnews worded this?
It was a stage I really enjoyed - but Armstrong cannot get the credit for it. That split was all about Columbia, they hit the front at the right time to capitalise on the winds to split the peloton, and then worked the hardest to ensure it lasted. They deserve the credit, not Armstrong just because he was there while Contador was not.
