At least in the tour this year Contador will have team that is dedicated to him and not one that appeared to actively work against him and attempt to break him on and off the road – why would his own team deny him use of team cars at the end of a stage so that he ended up hitching a ride to the team hotel from someone as they'd decided that team sponsors and friends were more important than the race leader?
Edit- thinking about it, the more I find out about Lala the less I like him. I was a huge fan of his in the early 90s and was hugely pleased when he returned from his illness and treatment, however I then read his book and realised how unpleasant he was and not much since then has done much to change my opinion.
