I agree. Bertie doesn't look right. Andy, riding into shape and has got through week one with the Frank weapon still to play.
Basso must be a danger. Kept out of trouble for week 1 and probably still recovering from that crash last month.
Could be interesting, although we've really lost too much of the second tier already.
How long will Tommy V hold onto yellow. Is LLS more of a GC factor?
Those Contador odds? Isn't it 17/8?0 -
Contador out to 11/5 this morning on betfair.0

If Contador can stop getting involved in crashes, then i'd still give him a decent chance0

A sickening day in terms of the damage these riders are taking.0

Like a lot of people I used to not be a big fan of the "returned" Vino. Unrepentant, and he really threw his weight around within the Astana organziation - he didn't care about the feeling of Armstorng nor Contador, when he was back, it was HIS team.
But after his gutsy attack the day before and his bad crash yesterday, I must say you have to feel for him. He, like Durand, Voeckler, Abdu, Cancellara, Jalabert (in his polkadot phase) are exciting attacking riders that make races.
It's a pity that he has to bow out like this. As we know from Floyd, when you crack the top of your femur, since it doesn't, for some reason, have a terrific amound of blood flow, recovery can take a while. 2012 might not be an option.
Disclaimer - note that the above is in no way as sad as 61 refugees dying in a boat. Just in case anyone had any issue with showing any empathy towards another cyclist, on a cycling forum, by an amateur cyclist who spends 100s of hours a year practicing said sport :-)When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.0 -
