- and have to say that it just doesn't seem true. At this year's Giro, I
think he'd win entirely on his own. With ease.

Is AC really that much better than everyone else? Is AC doping and everyone
else clean? Does it seem likely that AC would be doping with everybody
watching him so closely? Does it seem intelligent for AC to just blow
everyone away and draw so much attention to himself?

The guy doesn't even look like he's trying that hard. If he takes that level
of riding to France, what happens then? Could this be the first year of the
Giro/TdF/Vuelta triad?

Am I the only one watching the Giro?

On a more important note... isn't there some sort of iNterpreter app
he can get for his iPhone to make those attempts at interviews with
the Anglophone media less painful, or at least more entertaining...

I think Contador rode a very intelligent Giro.

That depends upon what he was trying to accomplish. Let me put it this
way. Suppose you discovered a way to game the system in Las Vegas. How
far would you push it? Would it make sense to go for broke, knowing that
it would call attention to you, or would you hold back a bit, trying to
fly under the radar of suspicion?

Now suppose you're just plain good, even great. You're on an incredible
run. You're not cheating, just outrageously lucky or smart or whatever.
Do you spread things around or go for one grand play after another at
the same venue?
