I realize it's been talked to death here on BF......but, I feel bad for Alberto........he's earned his spot in the limelight, he's without a doubt the best Grand Tour rider right now, and yet Armstrong has waltzed back in to steal his thunder, (and I say this as an Armstrong fan).......I'm very curious as to how this plays out during the Grand Tours next year.....I think Armstrong must be hoping he can offset whatever losses he has to Alberto in the mountains with gains in the time trials.....No ?
Part of me wants to see Armstrong win, part of me wants to see Contador destroy him in the mountains....maybe we'll get both ?

Personally, I am hoping Contador leaves Astana so that you can see the two of them battle it out in the open rather than Lance decoying feigned support for AC and then surprising AC in a mountain stage (under the guise of "protecting" AC during a breakaway) BTW I sure hope there are a few other riders who can challenge Astana.
I will post that question as to WHO those riders are, in a new thread

Comfort + Efficiency = Performance
Say it 100 times before going to bed. Lance does.
This is why I bought a custom built bike and my back is a lot happier.

I wouldn't say it's all tongue in cheek.

stole your bike
Maybe there's a reason y'all aren't racing in the big leagues? He's always had a load of spacers. He used a quill stem for the longest time because he didn't WANT to have to use the spacers.
If you read his Twitter acount, you'll see that the mountains that they wer riding were so big that even Levi ws using a 28 in the back. Lance said he wishd he had a 30! ha
We'd all be in the littlest ring we could find.

Yeah, and the folks he's wearing the "all black look" for are "getting a lot tired" of having/dealing with CANCER to!
Do you know even know why he's wearing that black kit and or what the words "Livestrong" on the sides mean**********?
1000s and 1000s and 10s of thousands of people get a moment of strength every time they see Lance wearing that "all black look" including my best friends wife, my 2 cousins and one of my riding buddies along with a couple great guys and excellent riders on this forum who suffer from that wretched illness.
I think the "all black look" is about a bit more than "hey look at me"...don'tcha think

Why are all those guys riding technologically inferior bikes laid up with mud? Don't they read Bike Forums?
