The same as having sex with a consenting adult rather than non-consenting when it is called rape.

Or conversely, Armstrong would be unbeatable with the Astana team behind him but Contador isn't going to make it easy.mrfrogger said:Contador would be unbeatable with the Astana team behind him but Armstrong isn't going to make it easy.
What a load of rubbish. It has been clear that Contador has been waiting to do exactly this for quite a few months, and Armstrong, being pretty smart, knew it was going to happen. AC has clearly been a rank above any other rider for a year or two. The only surprise was that that he didn't go a little earlier and get more time.No_Positives said:Complete bull**** tactics by Alpuerto. He knew he was doing something wrong when he attacked, because he looked like a teenager running from the cops. Armstrong was the strongest on this day, as evidenced by when he pulled back Evans' attack in about two seconds.
I am just wondering what would have happend today if the final climb were more difficult. Maybe Contador couldn't handle 5km attack today and therefore went for some 20 seconds without much of risks. Contador accelerated but then went with the same speed as bunch. No big changes in GC after today's stage.Eldrack said:That went pretty much as expected. No huge time gaps. Next mountain top finish is Verbier which is even easier. So no huge time gaps there. So pretty much switch off and wait until the last week, only thing to do until then is count how many stage wins Cav gets .
