I've loved watching his progression in to being a race winner over the last couple of years. Have always been super impressed with his overall results, but frustrated by the fact that he never crossed the line first. Now he's an animal that loves winning. Great to watch.
Like everyone else, I still worry that he'll lose minutes to the anorexics in the big mountains, but fark, if he proves me wrong it will be so sweet.

just read this article over lunch, interesting ....if team and Cadel keep doing what they are doing, then maybe, just maybe he can stay with Schleck & co, not loss too much time on big stages (see below) and we have a winner. I have never seen Cadel ride so well, so here's hoping.
Stage 19: mountain bike stage on steroids.

IMHO I don't think it'll be that bad, beef jerky didn't look too crash hot during his attempted attack yesterday and I can't see Schleck going nuts if Contador isn't going to push him. I think it'll come down to the final TT, as long as Cadel can kinda hang onto Schleck and co. in the mountains he'll come through in the TT.
I thought prior to the race it was going to be Schleck FTW, maybe Contador but hadn't considered Cadel but I may have to eat my words, I think he can do it this year.

I was looking at that stage thinking 109km is going to be a sprint.just read this article over lunch, interesting ....if team and Cadel keep doing what they are doing, then maybe, just maybe he can stay with Schleck & co, not loss too much time on big stages (see below) and we have a winner.

Then I had a look at Stage 18 - 3 climbs all HC!
If they haven't sorted it out after those two stages, that last TT is going to be a grovelfest of tired riders.

Awesome win, and contador thinking he'd won it makes it so much sweeter. Works out perfectly as well with Cadel 1 second behind the yellow, should save his team a bit which has been his problem in recent years whenever he got the jersey.
The one tour in the last 4 years I cant watch seems to be one of the best, fuck!

Don't wanna be all doom and gloom here, would love to see cadel win, but contador is going to attack everyone like crazy, he needs a minute on schleck, and unfortunatly the only person who can stay with him regularly is Andy if he is on form. Cadel seems to peak to early in every grand tour, its a long race.
