Contador is the new Lance Armstrong. He may even be better when all is said and done.

Given his young age, I agree wholeheartedly. The only question is can he stay hungry that long? Especially with the dramatic increase in riders salaries. Armstrong has had the same affect rider's earnings as Tiger Woods has on Golf. With Contador pulling down well over $3 million Euros a year on his contract plus endorsements it will be interesting to see if he wants to continue pushing himself that long. I hope he does because with Schleck being so young as well, we could have some very compelling TDF’s for the foreseeable future.
