I think that what makes it messy. He recently said something like how can people be giving him such a hard time after all the good he has done for cancer awareness. So in a way it might be part of a strategy to deflect public attention from those trying to nail him. As I said messy.....

I think they are 2 separate issues - not messy as such. To me the fact that he may or may not be an ass, or that he like most pro cyclists in the era almost certainly doped, does not detract from the good he has done (self serving or not).

 

The funny thing to me though is the same guys crucifying Armstrong for doping are very happy to accept Contador back as a hero and role model even though he (like Armstrong) has never come clean about his own doping - and yet he (also like Armstrong) sustained physiologically impossible wattages in his earlier tours.

 

Anyway all this is way :offtopic: Personally I thought what 'Berto did was fantastic to see - and what a GT this has been!.

Maybe, but 'Berto just has to sit on his wheel, almost like he spent three days on 'Berto's wheel, .........but yeah, 'Berto will get a real grilling here if he do's that,....... so personally I hope it rains and he attacks and attacks...........Some people just cannot give credit where its due, why? I have no idea, but yeah, I have said my bit, I'll say no more.

 

Easy GOG, Lance fans hate Berto, comes from when they rode together and AC refused to bow. He became the enemy. Just ask Scotty...

exactly.. its also why they so desperately want schleck/froome/whoever to beat AC - so in some twisted way, LA will have his revenge

Berto paid up. He didn't kick and squeal and stir up such a storm that its all anyone can get back to even in a Spanish race he isn't part of.

I'm so bored of LA they should ban him for being annoying.

I'm LA, in case you didn't know I won the tour seven time and my father is Mufasa!

He has been quite gracious in his defeat ... something about having found his limits. And he has handled the press / media. very well.

Yea I think hE's won a lot of fans in Spain as well with his courage and his class shown in defeat. Last year they were shouting "we'll kill you if you win" when he was batlting with Cobo, this year they are cheering him up the climbs and some even giving him a push. Edited by dracs
