  • Lance afraid of the French crowds

    THis after he has said he is oging to ride the Giro to win. Do you think he is perhaps setting up the basis for a deciion not to ride the Tdf or to ride it in support of Contador? As Coach M noted, Contador is probabyl pretty ticked right now, so perhaps this is the deal; LA rides the Giro as team leader and Contador is team leader in the TdF (until supplanted on the open road, a la lemond/hiinault in, what was it, 1985?)
    PLesa excuse the tpyos.

    This is the perfect plan. LA still gets to show that he is one of the best and pick up a Giro win in the process. Contador gets his Tour win and LA gets to ride it without the pressure to win it. He was in a no win situation before, he wins it and so he's still on drugs or he doesn't win it and it's because he is no longer doped.

      Agreed. Of course, Merckx will tell you that the French really can be violent out on the road.

        Merckx just had a weak kidney.
