Also going to ITV (GB) & Versus (USA)
. Can't wait for the penultimate stage up Ventoux, can easily be won or lost on the final stage.
Yes, my short term memory IS going
and fair enough about Pereiro, but when it's only 5 times in just shy of a century, I reckon my point stands. Cadel can not win this race. Even if he had a good team, he'd still never be able to ride strong climbers off his wheel on a climb and that's inevitably where the tour is won.
Sexy isn't?Two years ago wasn't it? When he was sporting the upper-body structure of Kate Moss combined with the legs of Pantani. Not suspicious at all. That was also the year Contador, who is also beyond suspicion, won it.
Yeh no shit, as soon as he flew past the silence lotto rider I immediately thought of Rasmussen. Lets hope it doesn't turn out like that.Contador's insane uphill acceleration reminded me of the way Rasmussen was riding a couple of years ago (or was it last year?) when he realised he needed to leave the tour halfway through the race, even though he was wearing the yellow jersey.
Contador doesn't have the brains or smarts that lance does. He's a bloody good rider though.Agreed, but did you see the acceleration Contador had uphill?
Tactically, Contador got a massive kick in the pants earlier in the year when he allowed himself to hunger flat and lose a major stage race, so I can't see him making any mistakes like that again. Added to that, he has won the last 3 grand tours he's ridden in (he's the only current rider to have won the TDF, Giro and Vuelta - not even Lance has done that!) and Lance is about 15 years older than him and won't get any younger as the race wears on, so I'd have to disagree with you.
Cancellara's with him now. If those two team up I will cry tears of relief and joy.yep, farkin annoying, he has to go alone which is VERY unlikely to succeed. Nobody else will help from other teams either.
No teaming up, he's trying to shut him down.
Well - I'm getting an education here. Cancellara is getting all agro and telling Cadel to f*** off back to the peloton because he's the reason the peloton are chasing the breakaway.
spanky's wondering where the hell is 'team' silence lotto... there must be others! The commentators keep referring to the 'team' cadel is from... team indicates more than one...Cadel has no friends and isn't about to make any. This is so frustrating it's actually getting hard to watch.
I know, I know! Poor Cadel! It KILLS me to watch this bullshit on tv!Well - I'm getting an education here. Cancellara is getting all agro and telling Cadel to f*** off back to the peloton because he's the reason the peloton are chasing the breakaway.
