Has had a stomach infection though.

 

[maltiv]

Rasmussen said before the race that he has had a stomach infection for more than a week so he already confirmed then that he would have no chance for the GC. They were always going to go for Schumacher in the GC.

 

[Old School]

Word is that after Contador won, Cadel said, "I guess repeating is out of the question...if Contador comes in rested, unlike last year".

You can't deny greatness....overweight my ****.

Arriving late to the party! Chapeau Alberto...he just makes my jaw drop and I've been watching cycling for 50+ yeras. Simply the best on a bike there is right how...

Can hardly wait to see the highlights!!!

Nice turnout.

I had to go out to a Fashion thingy that my daughter was in at college and was trying to follow messages on Twitter....my wife slapped me but I kept trying. When Berto is on the road in a race I want to be watching, I want to pick up on the sheer pleasure he obviously gets from winning races and the excitement you get from not knowing what he's going to do next.

If CAS can't see the reality (sorry...mine and La Floricita's reality) of this I'll just switch cycling off for the next two years because it will be as boring as sin!

Doesn't it get back dated to August 2010 when he was first informed of the positive test?

I guess so... they've taken so long that the effective suspension will only be 6 months

Sorry that's the final selection.

 

[The Hitch]

Doesn't it get back dated to August 2010 when he was first informed of the positive test?

But thats still basically the year out because he misses the Vuelta by like 4 days so cant do it so season is effectively over when he comes back.

Its just a cold way of giving him 2 years and 6 months because they say "oh its 2 years" but in reality he cant do **** till Paris Nice/ TA 2013 anyway.

Any backdating should be backdated to the date the test was taken.

Show some consistency fellow posters! What the hell is this victory salute?

 

[shalgo]

WOW!

There is more:

"When Alberto put in his last attack and I was the only one with him. I pulled a lot because tomorrow's a time trial and if you gain seconds over people it means a lot," said Leipheimer. "I had the feeling that Alberto was on the limit, but it was just a choice I made and I think it was a good one."

Show some consistency fellow posters! What the hell is this victory salute?

This was AFTER his victory salute. The salute, I believe, was framing the Saxo Bank logo on his chest. You may want to check back a few pages or maybe look at the photos associated with the stage report.

Oh...wait, you're just hating

 

[AussieGoddess]

the guy is just awesome.

So conflicted .... I really really want him to race this year - just for our entertainment.
