I have nothing against Contador and can understand why he burnt the bridges he did.
However, this year he has to put up or shutup. If he wins and he just might, then good for him.
With that being said, I hope Lance does very good. This BS that you are past it once you hit 30 is getting old. Especially for those pushing way past that
A Prologue does not a Tour make. With some 2,000 miles or so and 19 stages left to go which includes six mountain stages it is far from over. I think Lance will be severely tested in the mountains only because he has many more miles under his belt than the younger Spainard.
That said I’ll be watching each stage and hoping that Lance can pull it off in his final Tour.
