Now, I hate blatant cheating and dr*g taking in cycling as much as the next fan, and I'm sure that there's more to the clenbuterol story than eating dodgy meat, however....
I humbly suggest that from a fans point of view there is no finer sight in pro cycling than Contador in full swing....
And that Andy Schleck is a whinging gobshyte who needs to learn to ride down hills.

| Best bit IMHO is seeing Contador on the back foot, knowing he's not in his best shape and can't rely on crushing everyone with one big attack in the mountains. Big contenders scrabbling around for odd opportunistic seconds here and there (and in AC's case today, failing despite obviously putting in the effort and having Sanchez's help again) makes it all the more interesting. Really looking forward to tomorrow. |

+1. Wide open this year. Much more exciting than some years back. And I honestly think that, barring accidents, Brad Wiggins would still be well up there with everything to go for bearing in mind the time trial was perfect for him. |

I still think Boardman would have won the Tour if he hadn't decked it in the prologue

The way he's going up the Telegraphe after cracking yesterday makes me think '500mls packed cells' but maybe I'm too cynical?

Assuming he'll be tested after the stage I doubt it's Testosterone - needs to be something undetectable.....
