So Contador takes the lead Can't help but feel he'll win outright then get banned and leave another race in a mess. A fine show of power though. Will we see a Vuelta style national call to arms?

It's the 150th anniversary of unification, true enough- Contador vs La Squadra

 

[Simplex]

They've dropped the Monte Crosti as it was too dangerous and the finish is on the Zoncolan. 1 in 5 with no support vehicles , should be a cracker. About 35k to the start of the climb .... it's on fromsport.com at the moment.

 

[Lysander]

They just chopped another 15k or so out, suddenly they're all at the bottom of Zoncolan........teams scarmbling to get the support bikes up- nae cars can do the climb.

 

[Lysander]

Not a lot of love for Alberto at the summit there.......... :shock:

 

[kaiser]

No he's not a popular chap is he still he looks the strongest by a mile, in the bag methinks. Against my principles I included him in a dreamteam, loose morals me!
