no kidding, he's the crash master this year. this tour's been rough on all the riders but lance gets so much coverage it looks like he forgot how to ride lol.
Contador cannot win a tour without a good team. Everyone knows that. Let's put it this way, you have Johan Bryuneel managing a team that won more than 10 grand tours. There is no way Contador can win on a different team, with a different manager. The differences are just too great. Let's put it this way. Saxo Bank is a real good team, but Andy still only got second place in the TDF because of how strong the contending Astana team is.
Next year, I believe it between Lance and Andy. Thats it.
@dahgutone ¿en serio crees que el Tour del 2010 estará entre Armstrong y Andy Schleck?? jajajaja, vamos, a Contador ya de partida lo descartamos verdad?? jajajaja,
Sí, creo que será entre ans Andy Lance. No hay absolutamente ninguna manera Alberto ganará un Tour de France sin un buen equipo. Eso es final. Le pregunta a cualquier otro ciclista retirado que ganó el Tour de Francey van a responder, no se puede ganar un Tour sin un equipo fuerte. El equipo Astana 2010 es absolutamente débil.
El Astana 2010 no será un super-equipo, hasta ahí de acuerdo. Pero eso no impedirá a contador luchar por el Tour. Lemond (ADR) 89, Pantani (Mercatone) 98, Armstrong (US Postal) 99, etc... no tenían grandes equipos y ganaron. RadioShack sí parece buen equipo, pero sus mejores corredores (Leipheimer y Kloden) no serán líderes. RadioShack no tiene nada que hacer porque trabajarán para un lider (Armstrong), que ya no es suficientemente fuerte.
Efectivamente, el tiempo dirá. En Julio hablaremos. Solo quería añadir una cosa. El ciclismo ya estaba inventado antes de que Armstrong ganase su primer Tour. A veces da la impresión de que para los estadounidenses el ciclismo se inventó en el año 99,..... Armstrong ha sido un buen ciclista pero nada más. Le ha fastidiado que Contador ganase el Tour 09. Debería estar contento, al fin y al cabo era su compañero de equipo ¿no dice que lo importante es el equipo?? Mucha prepotencia..
Sé cuánto te gusta de Alberto pero definitivamente será un corredor GC, pero no un top 3 contendiente. Astana es demasiado débil ahora. Gerente diferentes, compañeros de equipo diferente, diferentes patrocinadores se suman....
I agree that contador is a bit of a dick but he is the best rider overall and in all critical moments and stages, he has a lot of reserve to counter attacks and can himself attack when others have cracked. His TT is also top notch and will only get better. Armstrong better have something up his sleeve next year, perhaps he can hire the pellet gun guys to take out contador.
wHY IS EVERYBODY PUTING A MINUS TO THIS GUY, HE IS RIGHT ARMSTRONG IS ON DRUGS!!! I m not saying contador is not but you have to realize that everybody is on drugs in that buisness, but there are better drugs then others ...
I'm sorry, but Margaux177 is a doofus. I've never met Lance, but I know people who have. All of them say he's very affable, down-to-earth, friendly. NOT A PRICK. Margaux, until you meet him in person, don't judge him. And don't assume he's using drugs simply because he's doing well.
Interesting. He the the most drug tested human, ever, and yet he has never tested positive. But, he is still considered a drug-cheat. Do you not think the powers to be would love to bust him?? And they never have.....
i feel bad for him, 2 bad years for him crashing alot lately

Oh. ¿Y también escuchar el equipo Astana será montado en Specialized?
Los dos fabricantes de bicicletas que se clasificó en el top 3 TDF.
Pero es todo sobre el piloto, no la moto.
Deja de sorprender sin embargo.

Couldn't have happened to a bigger prick.
And it's hardly the justice he deserves as the world's biggest drug-cheat (yes, even worse than Barry Bonds.)
