sorry, didn't mean to sound like an ass, however
a) contador rode many miles behind the schlecks today and didn't make an effort to beat them on the line
b) he claims he asked kloden about an acceleration and says kloden was okay with it....
c) astana (ie bruyneel/armstrong) has not treated contador very respectfully; Astana lacks team spirit not just contador (eg bruyneel and armstrong announcing leaving astana after the tour before the champs elysees)
that said, I don't know him personally, I certainly wouldn't claim that he is the most selfish rider in the tour (or the least for that matter), possibly the best though....
- All good points. But the last 18Km were a joke, he did nothing. Obviously thinking about the TT today.burnt
