Will need a strong team to beat Contador . Right now he is speeding after any acceleration (he will get smarter dont worrie about that)...
First i remembered was wattages parade at the tour..and how Rasmussen played him out..
To loose him with acceleration is hard...stamina raiders like Leipheimer and Sastre are he´s biggest enemis.
But today he can blame team mates..there was enough strong names to help him a little.
Tomorrow will show ..who he realy is. Great day ahead

18 Juan José Oroz (Spa) Euskaltel - Euskadi 6.59
After riding (and finishing!) every single one of the major classics on his first try (and in the space of only six months, too), he keeps improving and shows he can recover well from day to day, too.
Too bad he's anything but young, but he seems like a late bloomer.
Oh yeah, and he did a solo break at the Tour last summer.

Yeah, I've been majorly impressed by Juanjo Oroz this year and he has gone right into my Virtual Directeur Sportif-team. He's more of a late bloomer than Lleyton Bloom! Looking back at his amateur-career, he could just as well have ended up being an Unai Uribarri.
Never.

Oroz is one of those riders, who you think will never achieve much, until they turn 28/29, and start riding a lot better. The unpredictable late bloomers. We love them  |

Holy crap! I've just came back from Rotterdam. I didn't know what had happened at Paris-Nice. Just unbelievable. Too bad I didn't see it. But it makes me happy anyways. |

Watching Paris Nice. Exciting stage!
lancearmstrong
Unfortunate day for Alberto. Amazing talent but still a lot to learn.
ALBERTOCONTADOR
TOday come the Hummer´s man and hit AC. "SO SAD". Not agree about comments of LANCE that AC still has to learn.
ALBERTOCONTADOR
That comment was a low blow in a bad momment for AC.

You actually think Chavanel can win a minute ten seconds on Sánchez on the final descent??
Not even Savoldelli could win that much on Frank Schleck 
Contador will definitely attack, and he's my pick for the stage win. The question for me is how soon will he attack? First climb? Second? Third? I'd say second. Possibly first.

Lance also said "It appears Alberto "bonked" today"
Looking forward to todays stage.

As doddy said:

Appears Alberto "bonked". Not that uncommon in endurance sports. It's miserable. He'll be back fightin' tomorrow.
And then later of from AC:

I have an idea. We all should make avatars and signatures with Contador suffering, that will be nice
