Last time the Spanish football team won a major tournament and Nadal won Wimbledon in the same summer, a Spaniard also won le Tour...

Contador to win then?

    I worked out the other day, that since 1988, there have only been three years when the Tour wasn't won by an American or a Spaniard.

    Well done. It can be difficult to hold a few people's nationalities in your head while counting to three. I'm impressed. :D

    There has only been 12 Spanish victories in the race, and they have by far the best GC rider in the world. I can see how they'd need to cling on to this type of belief.
