In the presence of greatness?
There's been much hype about Lance making a comeback and that the current peleton will have no chance to beat Lance (I have just created next year's Tour promo!!), and good on him for wanting to raise awareness for a cure for cancer. But are we letting slip a bigger deal? Contador - or C-Dor if he was a gansta rapper - has just pulled off a feat only 4 others have, win all three grand tours and i believe (although can't confirm cause I'm lazy) he did it in the fas
test time, 14 months from his first. In tennis and golf parlance he just won the Grand Slam. This year in Italy and Spain he was never headed, his team was strong and very willing to help their leader. Yet this feat seems to be getting as much airtime as Valverde winning the last Pro Tour (and his second in a row) - lets be serious they aren't in the same league. I mean, the Pro Tour is over the whole season not just 9 short weeks (KIDDING KIDDING......!!).
I still feel there's a question mark over Contador but for now I'll doff my helmet to him. Now we go back to Italy for the Worlds where my pick is for the Spaniards to triumph once again.
