who is avoiding who

[Andre[_2_]]

Is Lance avoiding racing against Contador or is it the other way
around? It seems stupid to me.
Are they only going to meet once a year in the "Tour de France"?
What kind of a bull**** rivalry is that.
There is no rivalry

Yes (if ever) .

Indeed.

Of course there isn't. How can there be ??

Contador is the best stage race rider in the peloton at the moment.
Possibly the best of his generation / one of the greatest of all (time
will tell) .


And his form to date suggests 2010 will be more of the same.
In fact for certain people it may even be much worse, as there won't be any
"team orders" to protect them from a Contador in full flight ...

Resort to hyperbole much??

While Contador has shown great promise and great results (so far) he
has a very long way to go (at least 6 more consecutive victories at
the TdF, for example) to even begin to approach greatest of all time
status.

Dumbass,

ONE OF THE greatest of all time does not equal greatest of all time.

The Super Bowl, the World Series, Wimbeldon, the Indy 500, the
Kentucky Derby, the Masters, the Hahnenkam, are all once-a-year
significant events in their respective sports. But each one stands
alone despite being only one in a series of competitions.

I have no problem with AC and LA not racing each other every week in
a lead up to the Tour. I don't even think LA is really a contender,
but do believe he will be there to race. That 's part of what makes
the TdF an EVENT. A three week event at that.

We can allow for your ignorance of written English (as pointed out by
another poster) , but not the fact that the one regarded as the greatest
rider of time (stage and one day) only won the TdF 5 times.

Significantly, over 5 decades, the greatest stage race riders of their
generation all won :

1. the TdF 5 times
2. at least 2 of the 3 grand tours (or all three)
3. 2 of the 3 grand tours in one year (more than once)

Do these riders "even begin to approach greatest of all time status" ??


Contador has already done #2.
Time will tell whether he does #1 and #3.

The Lance, Unimpeachable Ruler of The Toor-Day-Frantz, has no actual
rivals, bull**** or otherwise. An 8th MyYoo Jawn this coming Joo-lye
and many liters of clean **** will confirm.

You're pretty smart. Of course, I didn't say that it did.
