Our hero vows to fight on!
http://www.velonews.com/article/764...espite-fracture My own reactions to these "stories" continue to amaze me. I'm finding I don't believe anything Team Astana says. My gut feeling is that he doesn't even have a fracture and it's all a ruse. In my mind, Astana's "empire of evil" status reaches new heights every day. I worry that I'm obsessed with this team going down, yet I also fear it will never happen. It's a sad state. |

well now its says he's arm has been amputated ! ______ Tour de France champion Alberto Contador will continue racing in the Giro d'Italia despite fracturing his left elbow. X-rays showed Contador had a fracture without dislocation today following a crash during Saturday's eighth stage from Rivisondoli to Tivoli. The 25-year-old Astana rider said he had no intention of quitting the Italian classic. "Unfortunately, having a small fracture does not make the journey to Milan any easier, but I'm motivated and will try to fight through the pain," Contador said. "The last days my legs have felt better and better. The longer I've been in the Giro, the better I've felt." After nine of 21 stages, the Spaniard trails overall race leader Giovanni Visconti of Italy by 7 minutes, 56 seconds. |

Ironic - watched the 2003 TDF last night and Tyler Hamilton and his "broken" clavical. Dave Duffied and all the ES commentators commending the "bravery of the rider from marblehead". Ironic
