now let's look at contador. if he wins in paris it'll be his fourth GT win in a row, and he's 26. who was the last guy to do that?



ed rader
2007 TDF
2008 Giro and Vuelta

Ed I think you are missing something here. You can't take races off and win 4 in a row. I do imagine there was a 2007 Veulta, a 2008 TDF and a 2009 Giro. Seems like he is slacking. His achievements are great no doubt but the way you spin it, you might as well be working for a political party.
