I will be real interested to see how well Contador will do.

Look at the Italian squad of Lampre, their coach's name is Fabrizio Bontempi, what I believe means "Good Time". So their coach is a good time Charlie? What a guy.

Leipheimer takes an early lead but says he will work for Contador. If Contador wins it makes you wonder if it's possible for someone to win all three grand tours in a year.

If COntador wins I am not sure I think it is naymore likely that someone could win all three anymore. Not having riddne the TdF is still abig rest cycle in the year for him and Astana.

Do you think Levi and Contador really are as mutually supportive as they claim? I wonder if Levi said it with painted on smiles.

Close. Good time as in "He rode this stage of the race in good time."

Even better for cycling, no?
