An ill Rigoberto Uran has wondered whether it would not be better to abandon the Tour of Spain. Suffering from a respiratory infection, the rider from Omega Pharma-Quick Step, 6th place overall in the race, will make a final decision before the start of the 17th stage. At the press conference of his team on Tuesday, the Colombian said, "It's worse than yesterday; I'm working hard and I will continue to pay while in this state. it's maybe not worth it. When your health is not improving it's better to give up. But I'll make a decision tomorrow"

Uran said that "It is a respiratory infection that bothers me a lot. I've been 3 or 4 days I'm like that; I reached my limit. "

Does Contador seriously think that pistol routine makes him look anything other than a d1ckhead ?

He does it for all his uncountable number of fans. He doesn't give a sh!t if you care or not. He has been firing up slopes for a decade and shows no signs of running out of bullets.

Would you prefer him to eat a banana against racism or show support to gay rights with a T shirt or maybe show a tatoo in support of Palestine, or maybe even wear a black arm band to remember all the victims of Ebola or MH17?

I quite like the pistolero thing, it's genuine and isn't charged of political nonsense!

It's nothing to do with politics or being PC, it just makes a great racer look about as cool as Dave Myers in Strictly Come Dancing

The more naff this looks, the cooler it is, from a great racer in an image-conscious age.

Perhaps you'd prefer something a little more personal? Here's Cav laying his integrity on the line.
