Go Conty!!

Bort, I think there is a difference between this and last year in that Contador is feeling the pressure this year. I think, no matter what the issues with Lance being at Astana were, he always knew he had him beaten on the road.
This year, I think he looks like he fears what Schleck is capable of in the mountains. It was incredibly bad form to put down the hammer when the chain went on Schleck's bike.
I really hope Andy puts a 3-4 minutes in him today - just enough to cling on through the time trial.

bort, the difference between what happened on the cobbles of Stage 3 and the slopes of Port de Bales on Stage 15 is that Andy was in yellow. Historically speaking - at least to some degree - you don't attack the yellow jersey if the rider has suffered a crash or has had a mechanical. That being said, I'm hesitant to be too critical of Alberto "Shooter McGavin" Contador because he did have 2 other riders (Menchov & Sanchez) who were close in the GC.
What I think it shows is that while Contador is hands down the most gifted rider in the peloton, he has yet to achieve the "patron" status.

Welp, It's a two-man tour. Was hoping to see some other contenders keep pace, but no. Levi seems out of contention as well, so I have nobody to root for.
Casar's effort at the end of the stage today was great though.

They're still equally juiced .... its just a different type of juice ... namely blood..
GO CONTY!! MAKE IT 3!!!

Do you like Contador? He doesn't seem to have any personality. I'm indifferent to him. It might be a language barrier. To me, he's just a robot with a very fast motor, racking up TDF titles. I guess I like it when he does the pew pew thing.
- Please. He´s a rider, not a entertainer... You don´t need to undertand his language to recognize he´s a WAY good cyclist.OBBTKN
- ... a WAY good cyclist. The best in this time peloton. Period.OBBTKN
- um, i'm not arguing his talent. of course he's obviously the best right now. i'm saying it's not easy to be a fan of him.iCanHasQBN
- I agree. Amazing talent, but sometimes seems to lack the panache of other Tour greats. The "finger bang" kills me - reminds me of Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore.

Yeah Cav is ridiculously fast. Too bad he can be such an arrogant asshat. His response to causing the crash in the Tour de Suisse was classless.
- 9 out of 10 sprinters are arrogant dickheads. It's just the necessary supreme confidence in their ability.Wolfboy

Wonder how that crash will affect Cadel in the climbs today.
- RoyBoyII0
I dont know him well enough (actually, not at all.. LOL) to know what he's like.
All i know is that he's an awesome rider, an absolute machine.. he can TT and he's an awesome climber.

More crashes today. The riders are not happy with the organizers... but, but the surelly think they, the riders, paid for this (bring more show, less cry).
Will see tomorrow
