I love the bloke, tough as nails.

"It's not rocket science. We have to put time into Andy and Frank Schleck and get a big gap on Cadel beforehand. They're confident. I have complete faith in them."

O'Grady, battling his 14th Tour, said this edition was the worst he had encountered. Apart from keeping Evans at bay, O'Grady said the race was terrifying.

"From inside the peloton it's been an ugly Tour de France," he said. "Small roads, dangerous descents, tiny little villages, it must look fantastic from the TV helicopter. From where I'm sitting it's bloody scary.

"You're always dodging people, prams, old people sitting out on the roads, guys full of their lunchtime vino."

We have to put time INTO ( not helping them gain time ???? ) Andy and Frank Shleck????

I love the bloke, tough as nails.

And then you quote him going whiney about the course.

He forgets that Horner, Wiggins, Gesink and Leipheimer dropped/lost their GT on broad roads without a spectator in sight.

I'd say Alberto eats this nail without even noticing he is chewing it. Because that one drops, hurts his knee and just pushes on without giving a single complaint.

My favorite Stuart moment must be when he ****ed all over his team mates, going out late at night drinking, and acting like a complete tw@t about it when getting caught during last years vuelta.

What a brilliant guy and role model, wish more professional riders would follow his example.

The tough as nails remark,juxtaposed with the sooking,was obviously done for comedic effect.Works for me.

Here's a good video of O'Grady's former flatmate saying the same sort of thing a couple of years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQgWWceYwbY
