We have a week of waiting to see if positives come back,........
However, Bruyneel has taken 2 riders with some talent at the top again. No one gave LL a chance in hell to win, and he came so close. No one had picked Contador either. Cadel rode a great race to hold off the Disco riders all around him ....
Contador has a great career ahead of him. Even you Disco haters should be happy about this one. The "Disco dope is better" is a way thin line of reasoning. With Contador winning we may see a ushering in of younger riders who may not consider doping just a thing you do. This win may signal a change.
Cycling is not going to change if the old guard stays in it. No matter how much you scream "I hate dope", the fact is that everyone involved in cycling believes it has to be there if pro cycling is to be a mainstream sport. I don't care if McWish and Prudie talk against it. They know the score, and they believe it is a important component to bike racing.
We all agree the sport needs change. But maybe the change that is needed is that our hero's need to find other jobs.
