Contador is obviously the best rider out there this year. But when you consider that Lance hadn't been in the Tour for over 3 years and his age compared to the other top overall riders: Contador: 26 Schleck: 24 Kloden: 34 Wiggins: 29 Nibali: 24 Armstrong: 37

Its still incredible if he gets a podium spot in a TDF at his age. And they have had to work even harder for it with them losing one of their key team member Levi Leipheimer.

I agree that a podium finish for Lance would be quite an accomplishment. But he is far from his dominant form of a few years ago. I just get tired of hearing about Lance and nothing else - it is also time to give Contador and others their due. Its a shame about Levi - this years Astana team may have been the best ever. I though they legitimately had a shot at an all Astana podium.
