Lance Armstrong thrives on negative comments about him. And Alberto Contador gave him a great reason to train hard for the next 11 months:
"My relationship with Lance is non-existent. Even if he is a great champion, I have never had admiration for him and I never will," the Spaniard told a news conference in Madrid.
There is no doubt that Contador is stronger than Armstrong right now and I don’t see how Armstrong could beat Contador, but you have to be a fool to count out one of the most competitive people in the world. Lance is going to go to the Tour next year with a score to settle.
When you are a king, you can dictate whatever you want to say; when you are a prince, you obey the king’s orders.
Contador is king; Lance is just a knight
