No.

They didn't know how to shift gears! Their road bikes were brand new and they didn't know how to use the Shimano STI levers.

Which bikes did they ride, you may ask? Well both had the same bike, the Trek Madone 5.2 carbon fiber with Dura-Ace components. Contador's bike. And I'm riding a mediocre LeMond aluminum with 105/Ultegra combo and Bontrager wheelset. There is no justice in the world...
