Lance or Contador?

[Ivor]

Well he welcomed his team back to the team coach... and they handed the prize to him on the podium.
should be an interesting day today.

I know Lance will do his upmost to win because in his head he still thinks he's top dog and his ego won't let anyone but him be team leader. I think he's definitely got the sharpeness and experience to react at the right time (demonstrated on Stage 3) but I just don't think he's got enough in the tank to beat Contador....

I do like Lance but would love to see his reaction if Contador destroys him in the hills......

Just to be in the position he is in after his come back after retirement is a massive feat alone. No matter what you think of him, you cant but admire his will to compete and win.

The hilly stage yesterday was too much for him

[nick de meyer]

lance is a legend he has it and he's keeping it a very closely guarded secret until the mountains, you can see the power when he's riding, he was faster over the line on sat than cancellara for speed that is, and as he says he's won the tour de france 7 times, he knows how to play the game very well! awesome to watch!

[quote="marco"]Its early days but I find it highly doubtful that someone can come back after a break that long, at that age, with a V02max of (just!) 85 and ride clean day after day in the high mountains to beat a young rider who has recently won the Tours of France, Italy and Spain (a feat the older rider never accomplished) . I think it doesnt add up and that something would be seriously amiss if it ever did happen.

Then again I've never seen a certifiable miracle and therefore Armstrong feels sorry for me. Maybe if he does win the current Pope can verify it.

There is actual physical evidence which can easily be proved in court if need be that he trains hard which is something you do not have to back up your comments.

Ive always been suspicious of Roche. Being taken to hospital after a stage is not a normal response and probably means he was on drugs like amphetamines.
