They blamed the chase on other teams (Garmin and ?????). VeloNews did get some letters that agreed with you. So, you got me.<br /><br />I think we can all agree that Lance skipping the team's victory dinner showed poor taste. Clearly, he and Contador have no time for each other. That relationship was doomed from the beginning, and was a constant distraction. I'm sure LA is relieved that's all over.<br /><br />Is he perfect? Is he the Tom Brady of cycling? No, not quite.
