Attack! Attack! Attack!

Attack more!

Lots more attack!

Does that mean he is the team captain or just a great rider?

Both. He and O'Grady seemed to share the role.

I think Bernie was a great road captain for Cav at the TDF all except for the stage where he crashed in the TTT.

Samu seems to have a good innate tactical sense utilising his team whilst being captain. Contador and Armstrong had that as well.
