Alberto Contador

Read my words, the cycling world has a new Tour phenomenon: Alberto Contador. He has joined the immortal Merckx, Gimondi, Anquetil and Hinault as the only cyclists to have ever won the Giro, the Vuelta and the Tour. This deserves nothing more than the utmost respect.

And for those nostalgic naïve cycling fans, the Boss is going to get creamed by this young Spaniard in next year’s Tour de France. Barring any political turmoil within the Astana team, the once great Armstrong shall be watching Contador’s Lycra shorts gradually cycling away from him on L’Alpe d’Huez in an ever humiliating fashion. Remember “the look”, it points to the future. If you believe in the past and Fantasy land, I recommend going on a holiday to Disney World. Contador shall be merciless! Olé!
