This post might be a little bit late but during this year’s Tour I couldn’t help noticing the similarities between Armstrong and Contador and the Steptoes:

Alberto and Lance in Happier Times

OK, so I realise that this is possibly one of the worst Photoshop efforts every to see the light of day, and it’s based on one of Armstrongs facial expression captured on the podium but, unlike the old man in the Alps, I think it’s got legs.

Both Harold and Albert and Alberto and Lance were trapped by circumstance both desperately wishing that they could escape from the other but equally both secretly knowing that they needed the other.

Of course, now he’s formed team RadioShack Lance is finally be rid of the ungrateful Alberto but, mark my words, he’ll miss him soon enough.
