CYCLING "It is an advantage," said Lance Armstrong when asked what is the knowledge we acquired last year by sharing equipment with Alberto Contador.

"But - nuance-it is a complete corridor with few weaknesses. Go up better than anyone at the trial is equated with the best." The Texan stressed that "the first week of the Tour this year is unusually complicated. In the Netherlands will be windy, I could see in the Giro. Then the pavé and stages around Brussels and the Ardennes. It will be a week of many nerves "he predicted. For the winner of seven Tours, "Contador is the favorite for the next Tour will be difficult to beat him." Armstrong disputed the Tour of Switzerland, which yesterday reached its third stage victory of Frank Schleck. Tony Martin is the new leader. http://thecyclingsideoftheforce.blogspot.com/
