Well,

if the rumors are true, and Contador joins the Schleck's in 2011 and beyond, the 3 Grand Tours could become a little boring (thing 2000 - 2005), as barring some surprise challenge from another up and coming rider, each of the three will likely divvy out who rides which tour.

What rumors? Schleck would be a fool to join the same team as AC. He's already finished second in the TDF. He's 25 years old. He has a great chance to beat Contador and win the TDF in the next several years.

Why would you possibly give up your chance to win the TDF as you are coming into your prime, just to be Contador's domestique?

I was on vacation for two weeks (the last 2 not this one) and it was great to have something to watch. No, beginning next week I'm off for 2 more and I'll miss the TDF coverage. what day is the TT, and what day is last day where they go in circles around Paris?
