Lance is sour because Contador made a “freelance” acceleration in the Pyranees that put him ahead of Lance by 2 seconds - and it put the Yellow Jersey even for one day out of Lance’s reach.

Also - the day Contador basically iced the win - Armstrong announces is is creating a new team with Radio Shack sponsorship. So who is petty here?

Besides Lance is a flaming lib. Contador is a hunter - he celebrates winning a stage with a pistol shot motion...

Before you start blabbing out loud about something you know nothing about, just remember there are plenty here that can see you put your foot squarely in your big mouth!!!

Keep politics out of it. Lance Armstrong is a sportsman and a Champion, and if you can't see him as such, don't say anything.

First, Johan Bruyneel has been with Lance since forever and it is Johan who LEFT Astana for many reasons that you either no nothing about or chose to ignore. Lance chose to follow him. Also, put your money where your mouth is. I bet Alberto will NOT be with Astana next year.

So who is petty, you!!!!

From this quote of his...sounds like Alberto is the one who is sour. As I said to you before, I am going by what this man said. I have not heard anything similar, or public like this, coming out of Armstrong's mouth directed at Alberto.

He can have whatever opinion he wants... but the fact is Armstrong won six out of six. Unless and until Alberto does that, well then the record speaks for itself on the "respect" issue.

Lance tweeted on Monday that there would be an announcement the following Thurs. Doesn't look planned or petty to me.
