TDF - Who is the true leader of Astana?

Contador.

Lance, although he was up there with the better climbers of the tour, was having great difficulty following wheels. Kloden did the work and Armstrong withered away. It was wild to see LA just sit unable to respond to the attacks that went after Contador.

Slow Tex is right, he has accomplished more than most. The behind the scenes stories to include him leaving his team leader and the GC leader at the hotel the morning of the last ITT and taking the Livestrongers for a ride in the team car Contador was supposed to use to get the the race is a little more than selfish on the yellow band man's part. This is/was coupled with several other insider jabs making the technical part of preparation an uphill battle for Contador as much as the actual race. .... Is it treason or terrorism????
