Will the "BooBirds" help or hinder Alberto?

Virtually every cycling discussion could arguably be rerouted to the more appropriate forum for that matter.

Possibly so, but with some cyclists we have actual proof.

It's like being the dinner lady in charge of a whole bunch of fat kids. Every time you turn your back, some of the delicious food you've been preparing goes missing. Once in a while, you turn around unexpectedly and one of them, tubby little Al for instance, gets caught with his hand in the jam and with sticky smears all over his porky little face.

Now, it has to be said that there's an awful lot of food going missing, and an awful lot of the other kids are suspiciously fat too. But, quite rightly, it's only the little bucket of lard you've actually caught stuffing his face who gets detention.

Not sure where that came from but thank you. It made me laugh and also broke the tension of the tennis:) Go Murray:D

Alberto handled the situation with Armstrong and Bruyneel and I think it's harder when your teammates are chasing you than some spectators who don't know how to behave properly. It was funny that Contador at the Tour 2009 pretended not knowing any English and listened to everything Lance and Johan said. :D

Unless someone in the crowd does something stupid, I doubt if a bit of booing will greatly inconvenience Contador. He'll either have the legs after the Giro or he won't. Public opinion won't change that either way.

This is a bomb waiting to go off... Someone is bound to do something stupid sooner or later. Some of the uphil finishes last year were insane; the crowds are getting worse every year.
