Exhibit A: Alberto Contador in the pink jersey, winning the Giro d'Italia (Tour of Italy, second biggest race on calender after the Tour de France, which oddly enough, Contador won last year).
Exhibit B: Contador lifting the trophy in the air. It should be mentioned, I guess, that Contador's Team Astana was not invited to the race initially. They were ignored after seroius doping drama at the Tour de France last year. It should be noted however, that Contador was on a different team at the time, as was a majority of his current Astana teammates.
Exhibit C: Contador on the top of the podium. It should also be noted that just a little over a week before the race Contador was on a beach in the Mediterranean. He did not train at all for this race, because he was not initially invited to it. Yet here he is winning it.
Point is, Team Astana rules. They won the Giro without training at all. Pure Class. The Grand Tour Organizers should get over themselves because all they are really doing is preventing strong athletes from doing their thing.
Props to Alberto for sticking it to 'em.
