Stage 17 is done for the Tour de France. On the climb, race leader Alberto Contador dropped his Astana teammate Andreas Kloden, leaving himself isolated and dropping Andreas to fifth in the rankings. Seven-time champion Lance Armstrong is fourth in the standings, behind Contador and the Schleck brothers.
Contador tells interviewers that it takes a team for a cyclist to win the Tour, yet he seems to disregard this when he’s riding. He’s certainly a talented rider but his attitude is beginning to wear on me. Dropping your teammates is a good way to not have a team the next time around.
Primadonna athletes?!? You don’t say…
