slowtwitch Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 If I see one more Lance pic in Astana/ Livestrong clothing I'm gonna puke GIVE ME US POSTAL PLEASE Love him, hate him, love to hate him...it will still be awesome to see an Armstrong win AGAINST ALL ODDS
fiasm Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Dear God' date=' please let any one but Lance win the TDF. Cheers,Me[/quote'] Â Why so anti-Lance? Gee, am I the first to say they didn't like Lance? Forgive me, backlash.
ASTANA Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Being a lance fan sucks this time round. Would really like to see Contador win.  Check how Contador, Schleck brothers, Sastra, LL Sanchez and the Euskaltel euskadi boys battle it out in the high mountains. Believe Armstrong will also be up there, but the other boys will kick ass.Â
Speeddemon Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 What about Cancelara? Â Sorry Backlash I only had a few options to put into the pole. It seems I sould have left out Cadel Evans and put in Cancelara
pastapouch Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I hope nobody from Astana, rather Evans, F/A Schleck... please not freakin Lance. I forecast that Astanas gonna have team problems later in the Tour... Hopefully they'll fall apart when chasing each other to determine the team leader... two dogs fight, another runs away with the bone.
Slowbee Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 in my limited experience, LA has the backup in terms of management and tactical support. I think this gives him the edge. He knows the mountains are looming and he will just sit on wheels while the other lot fight it out. but what I know about racing is dangerous. Â

The schlecks are good, but good enough for yellow ? Â Don't think anything can stop Astana, Saxo bank is strong but lacks overall contenders. Except if Andy can make up all the time on Mont VentouxÂ
Speeddemon Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 I agree with slowbee. LA has alot of experiance and that will help him in the mountains.
PPWTF Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Alberto Contador, with full support from the team. Natural order will impose itself, levels heads will draw the only conclusion possible.  I'm a lance fan, but reality says when the hills become mountains it's young legs that win the day Astana may well become the first team in history to fill the top 3 places; that in itself will more than satisfy the Livestrong publicity machine ..............remember, you heard it hear 1st    Â
Overlord Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 The Astana machine is strong and is showing every rider in the tour who the boss is. Problems is that not one of the top riders in Astana is going to let the chance slip by to wear the yellow jersey.At the end of the day the Team Manager is going to tell these riders who to work for. This Contador,Armstrong problem is going to cost Astana dearly. They need to act and do it rather sooner than later.Â
KlapperKnop Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Contador!! epoh .. i thought you are a lance fan???
KlapperKnop Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I think Johan Bruyneel will favour Lance and not Contador .... If JB wants to fill the podium positions with Astana riders; then the best possible way is to let Lance fill either 2nd or 3rd but not 1st; let Contador gets his position he deserves!
