Ultimate Lance nightmare (could happen)

Contador dominates enough that there's no question who's going to be on the top of the podium in Paris. No big deal. Let's talk Ventoux. Lance works for Contador on Ventoux. The two of them drop all others. Contador is clearly the strongest of the two. But Lance wins the stage, and Contador later explains that allowing Lance to take Ventoux was the least he could do for all his hard work. Ventoux 2, Lance 0. --Mike Jacoubowsky Chain Reaction Bicycleswww.ChainReaction.com Redwood City & Los Altos, CA USA Turn that around a bit. Astana (AC and LA included) ride as a team and put LA and AC into the top two positions before the Ventoux Let's say one is leading the other by 30 seconds. They take turns following attacks on Ventoux and end up alone- or at least with no GC contenders nearby. Would Johan let them race? And would they obey him? That could be a truly classic showdown. Sort of the stage race version of a long breakaway where two rivals work together to insure podium spots but then go mano-a-mano for the win. DR |
