Whining about lack of team support, oh please. I'd say he moved on, quite nicely.

Face it, if Lance did the same sort of thing, all the Lance worshipers would lap it up in adoration. Oh wait, he does, with all that self-promotion.

Don't know how Versus is going to re-write their script, this should be a hoot.

Go Levi!!! And Andy, and Cadel, and Ivan, and Denis, and Ryder, and yes, Alberto. The silly posturing is over, and the real tour has started. 'Bout time.

Thanks but there are no grapes here, sour or othewise. If Lance started doing a stupid shooting gesture and wearing that hat, I would think it was just as annoying. And if Contador had an organization with a pistol as its logo, it would make sense to wear the hat. But he doesn't. And yes, he was still complaining about last year's tour in December.

He's a great racer, but he annoys me. I fast forward past the interviews with him. I also fast forward past the Lance-sucking-up, if that makes you happy.
