unlike a young greg lemond or jan ullrich contador has won three grand tours. and contador has a very bright future ahead of him. i think the game that bruyneel is playing is despicable. the team should be supporting contador without question.

Think what you may, but what if AC gets sick or crashes or LA shows better form? Right now Astana is in the drivers seat. I think Astana vis a vis the other teams is much stronger than any team that JB or LA has had. If LA wins it would be a lot bigger than if AC wins.
Even Eddy Merckx had his haters because he was so dominate. Right now everyone has the warm fuzzies for Merckx but that wasn't always the case. Just ask the fan who punched him during the race.
