Two cyclists just made my day!

[ny biker]

Well Bruyneel is already on record as saying that Contador is the leader in the TdF this year, and Levi would be second if for some reason Contador falters. And Lance is on record saying that he does not expect the team to support him over a stronger rider just because he's won it 7 times. So maybe Contador does have issues.

During the Giro, the guys at Universal Sports mentioned that Contador has plenty of other offers and would probably leave the team if the Astana sponsorship ended, because all the riders' contracts would have to be renegotiated under those circumstances.

Anyway. I just hope Chris Horner gets to race the Tour.

Interesting - just read this in cyclingnews.com re: rumors about Contador and his entourage going to Garmin:

Armstrong commented on the story on Monday. "Just read this [the article]," he wrote on Twitter. "JL [US writer Joe Lindsey, who broke the story - ed.] may not be far off on this (for once). I'm choosing to ignore and remove myself from drama. TdF – hard enough."
