I cant decide if Contraban is stupid or just shy. He has done the right thing politically to shadow Armstrong now though. And the correct thing would be to reinforce his ownership of Armstrong now both on the bike and after every/any stage win he garners.Trev_S said:I think Contador could well be out to prove a point and in a sense you could say is racing an in house battle at Astana

He needs to build his own momentum against Armstrong. Needs to create an air of 'I'm the man'. If he leaves it til July he will get swept aside quite early given the parcours and the hype of Armstrong's return.
He needs to show a bit of ******** IMO to deal with Armstrong. Something along the lines of 'Show me some ****en respect old cnut' would be appropriate.
Bring forward and illuminate Armstrong's intentions. Use the media to illuminate the issue. He needs to learn to play the media does Contraban.
That would be an exceptional result, because I don't think he's even starting.phillop said:lance in the top 5
Very good predictions but I'll change Fränk Schleck for third place.jonjungel said:That would be an exceptional result, because I don't think he's even starting.
Looking at the names listed on letour.fr, I think Contador will take it. I don't think neither Evans nor Voigt, nor any of the TT guys will hang on to him up to Montagne de Lure.
1. Contador
2. Colom
3. Evans
Be aware that all my previous result predictions have been epic fails.
I'm sorry...I'm confused. Who is Contraban? I follow pretty closely and I have never heard of any rider by that name! What team does he ride for?Geoff Vadar said:I cant decide if Contraban is stupid or just shy. He has done the right thing politically to shadow Armstrong now though.

ccccslovakguy said:thing is, a.c. hasn't shadow boxed armstrong at all. he wants to settle the captaincy once and for all and have it done on the road. i just don't think he realises how screwed he is by l.a. and j.b. come the giro and tdf. i'm thinking that cycle sport had it right when they dropped the hint that if anyone bucks the j.b. system and orders it will be a.c. a.c. will be a man riding without any team support--and maybe no compatriot support.

No it won't.
When a rider weighing 62 kg wins a flat 9.3km TT by a huge margin, everyone else is racing for 2. place.
Hmm...Contador's performance was surprising but I wouldn't say the field he was competing against was that special. If he had won against Cancellara when both were in their best form of the season, I'd be astonished. But Wiggins isn't that dominative. Come on, it was just 7'. Not that crushing. And if my eyes didn't betray me, Contador raced on drier roads. Besides Contador wasn't that bad in TTs last year (even the short ones) and if he's especially concentrated on training TTs this winter as he has said his performance isn't that out-of-this-world.whiteboytrash said:Right you are. When the worlds best & lightest climber beats the Olympic pursuit champion the season is over. Bruyneel's blood bags are in full swing.
