Alberto Contador

[Bret Wade]

So, a 22 year old kid just won an HC stage race, but all anyone in rbr
land wants to do is squabble about Terri Shiavo and other OT issues.
This has got to be a new low point.

Anyone who wants to see Contador in action should download the Mont
Faron stage from Paris-Nice at alt.binaries.multimedia.sport. An
exciting race and great coverage of the entire climb. Thanks "Ed".

I had Contador figured for an great new climber, but now it seems he can
time trial some too. And he can handle his bike too. All this just ten
months after brain surgery. How far can this guy go?

More on Contador at procycling.com:

And then there's Tom Danielson coming close to a first euro win. That's
news too.

And the first person to say "HC isn't what it used to be" gets kill filed.

you???

BTW, think the snow will hold off for tomorrow?

I hear the race is already canceled. See you at the Koppenberg?

I'll be there for the first lap. After that, we'll see how it goes.

The D1 designation isn't even a designation.

That's what you would call a POTM candidate you *****-faced fatties.
Now go back to your usual drivel about the finer points of riding
around a wooden circle...and eat another burger while you're at it.

It's a reflection of the larger society - all Terri all the time.
But don't worry, we can always get lower in July.

I guess the thing about surprise winners of Spanish stage races is,
you never quite know if the guy is the next Heras, Olano, or the
next Aitor Gonzalez (who actually used to win races), or the next
Juan Antonio Pecharroman - whatever happened to _that_ guy?
