Of course he has a choice. ****ing hell he's Alberto Contador. If Alberto explains to them he doesn't want to ride the Tour because the Frenchies hate him and are disrespectful they will allow him to ride Giro/Vuelta.

You know you're keep giving bait to the troll, i'm just saying ;)

Btw the tour needs Alberto, ASO realised that this year.

He will ride the Tour next year. Do people think he got a 3 year contract on the money he is on, for him not to ride the Tour?

I think you are right.
Tdf is the biggest cycling show and sponsor window.
Everone even non cycling/sport fans know TdF.
For many people TdF is the only cycling-race they watch on TV.

Not only at the team presentation.

You are right, I forgot that.
French sport public is not the most respectful.

I watch a lot of tennis too.
At French Open the public is sometimes very hostile to the players, if they do things the public don't like for what ever reason.
