Le Tour de France: Contador got some legs, but hats off to Lance

What a sweet ride by Alberto Contador, If you are a cyclist or a cycling fan, its really hard not to love this guys riding style. He gets up in the saddle and ride mountain stages as if riding on a flat stage. Ever since Lance retired I have been supporting Contador, but this year I am behind both Lance and Contador and hope the best man out of two will hold on to “maillot jaune” (Yellow Jersey in French). I got so much respect and admiration for Lance Armstrong. I don’t think anyone can do what he is doing right now, to be out of the game for four years and then come back and ride the way he did tells us that he is a super human. At age 37 he did mountain finish at 9th position, and some of the younger rides couldn’t even finish it within qualification time to stay on the race.

Lance is Back: Almost got the Yellow

As I mentioned in my previous post Lance is back and his back in fashion. It was so great to see Team Time Trial Back in Tour De France. Every one know that on Paper Team Astana has the best team but they proved it today that they are not just good in paper but also on the road. Lance did lead the team during the most of the technical course of todays ride and it paid off. It was a fabulous ride to watch. I have been watching Tour De France from 2001 and have never seen someone missing a Yellow Jersey with such a small time gap.
