Sastre Not Interested In Wait Debate | Cyclingnews.com →
Despite Sastre being outside of Tour contention, Contador attempted to prevent him attacking the peloton when Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel – Euskadi) had a nasty fall yesterday.
I think its interesting - and telling - that Contador tried to prevent Sastre from doing the exact thing that Contador did just a few days before.
And the whole show of “Schleck and I have kissed and made up” is nothing more than that - a show. Would Contador be as magnanimous if Schleck had dome the same thing to him? What would he say/do if he lost the Tour by 40-50 seconds?
Its all well and good to believe that there’s a sense of honor in cycling, that the Great Champions will wait for each other as Armstrong and Ullrich did in ‘03. But is that really sustainable, when guys are judged not on how honorable they are but on how many races they win?
