Is it Contador or is the quality of the opposition
I was just thinking, while I've been very impressed with Contador's ride so far, he's not really up against a very impressive field so far, is he? Nibali is about the only rider with some pedigree, and that's only one season's worth.
The serious heavies - Andy, Basso and Cuddles - and their top domestiques are readying themselves for a different race.
I'd like to see if he is able to destroy these guys as easily or not. Damn shame it is likely to be another year before we get to see this.
