I think Armstrong and Team RadioShack try to break down Contador and team Astana early in the race.

If Team RadioShack kills Team Astana early, Contador is done.

From what I can tell, Contador either doesn’t understand or doesn’t respect how much he needs a team in order to win.

My two cents, anyway.

Armstrong is worried about first week of Tour

By Samuel Petrequin

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands - The Tour de France gets under way Saturday and Lance Armstrong says he doesn’t expect to win the 5.5-mile prologue of what will be his last ride in cycling’s premier event.

The short and mainly flat stage through the Dutch port of Rotterdam’s city center doesn’t feature major problems, but Armstrong has recently struggled in the discipline. He used to dominate his rivals in time trials during his heyday.

Last year, his failure in the Annecy time trial hampered his chances in his comeback attempt to win the Tour for the eighth time. Armstrong eventually finished third.
