I would love for The Move to dedicate an episode or miniseries to Lance’s return, the hubris involved in that, the trade offs navigated (dope to win 8th Tour but risk whole legacy...we saw how that turned out), what other teammates thought about the Contador/Britney feud, and the internal dynamics involved. It would be awesome to hear Lance actually talk about it rather than just making arrogant, bullying comments about Contador being a “creep,” and to have Contador on there discussing with Bruyneel. It will never happen, though, because as much as I enjoy Bruyneel’s commentary and insights, Lance and JB are not interested in objectivity. JB is largely a useless sycophant in particular. Hincapie, Bruyneel, and Contador digging into the 2009 Tour would be incredible. Hincapie as facilitator.
Given Bruyneel’s previous commentary, I was surprised he didn’t acknowledge that it is perfectly possible that Contador misinterpreted his actions and believed, then and now, that Bruyneel was angling for a Lance win, even though Bruyneel was not. That doesn’t mean Contador is “rewriting history;” it means he had a different interpretation of historical events. Both views now are clouded by time and subjectivity.
