I hope the Astana team really really works for Contador. All the riders of Astana need to step up their performances this year to help Contador. He will need smart and great help to beat the Schlecks, Pharmastrong et al.

The media is portraying Astana as the underdog for the TDF. Nothing bad with it. I hope the Astana boys give a great surprise at the TDF and help Contador win again.

Go Contador ! Go Astana !

They should be fine unless some old ambitions get fired up with the founding rider. He's been a merc pro for awhile so that shouldn't happen. Either way Contador has the skills to win if healthy. Not saying anything everyone else knows but too bored to go to bed.

I think Vino will be a major tactical asset - Contador is not an Ullrich who couldn't respond to a Vino acceleration (regardless of what you feel about Vino attacking his team mates) - the way he rides will be ideally suited to Contador's fierce accelerations
