I have never been a fan of Contador for verisous reasons, (As and Andy Schleck fan i couldn't forgive the #Chaingate saga & The Tainted Beef all while in baby blue Astana Kit), I have however always known he has serious talent but after yesterdays stage i feel compelled to say "Everyone has made mistakes , I'm no angel so forgive and move on."

 

I have so much respect for him now, and even more hatred for Astana and what their culture inside the team stands for.

 

As for Kruijswijk, i Think Lotto Jumbo have a massive talent on their hands here. They as a team are going to be a major player soon with the likes of him, Sep Vanmarcke, Wilco Kelderman.

I couldn't said this better myself, exactly my sentiments as well. Also a huge Andy fan and still gutted that he quitted and never came to realised his full potential. My dislike for Contador also came from that, but as you said, lets move on.

 

The way he rode yesterday demands respect. Period. I've also heard the commentators said that when he and Lance were still teammates, the team apparently left without him for the TT so that he could get penalised and loose time. This didn't worked out well and AC made a plan and was on time for his TT.

 

You must admit, this guy got character and he has earned my utmost respect and he will route for him 100% in the TDF.

I know cycling is a teamsport and there are tactics involved, but what Astana did yesterday was just wrong. To use Katusha as an excuse does not sit well either. When they reached Katusha, they could have sit up and wait for Tinkoff, but no, they just keep pressing on.

 

And how was that arrogance by Landa. Celebrating the win as if he actually "deserved"  it, and then during the interview he was really surprised at how strong he was. IT'S BECAUSE YOU WHEEL SUCKED FOR THE WHOLE RACE YOU TWIT!!!!!!!!. except for the last 3km.

 

I think AC will give him a hiding of note in the next mountain finish. Just to prove a point and just because he can..
