Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I just wonder who will be supporting whom for Astana? If the goal is to get Astana the yellow, will Lance be able to support Contador they way Postal/Discovery riders supported him?
