Contador and Armstrong Still Going At It


Even though the Tour de France is over and results are final, teammates Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador as still battling eachother. Contador was recently quoted saying, "My relationship with Lance Armstrong is zero. He's a great rider and he did a great Tour. Another thing is on a personal level, where I have never admired him and never will."


Lance tweeted back, "Hey pistolero, there is no 'I' in 'team'. what did I say in March? Lots to learn. Restated. A champion is also measured on how much he respect his teammates and opponents."


The plot thickens with the news that Lance will ride again next year for the newly formed Team RadioShack. He will likely bring the team manager and many top riders from this year's Astana team over with him. There have also been rumers about my main man Andy Schleck joining Armstrong on Team RadioShack.


If you bleed red, white, and blue then you have no excuse not to watch the tour next year. The greatest rac ein cycling has been won by a spaniard every year since Lance retired in 2005. The yellow jersey belongs back in Austin, Texas, and there is no doubt that Lance will go "ball out" next year to put it there.
