Yep, he looked pretty fragile in that final Tour ITT.

His fragility was exposed for all to see by LA, JB and their twitter war during the Tour. Oh.

If you are going to use that as an example he looked fragile in Paris Nice when lost it he had the race wrapped up. I think his public utterenaces since the Tour are indicative of a fragile individual who doesnt like it if folks arent dancing to his tune.

Not dancing to his tune!! I couldn't hear his tune during the tour, all I could hear was Lance, coming through that tour as by far and away the best rider, in a team where he was being shunned, was not what you would expect of a fragile individual.

Yeah, one day of fragility, 90 days of being a stage race badass at three [edit sorry - was it 4 on the trot he won?] consecutive GTs. I'd take that.
I think his comments since the Tour, rather than those of a whining prima donna, have been a pretty reasonable response from someone who was royally shafted by JB as soon as the LA cashcow hoved back in to view. But we can agree to differ I guess

Personally, I'd like Andy Schleck to win but I think until he leaves his brother, that won't happen. He spends too much effort helping/protecting Frank (who, yes is also a good rider) to really reach the top step.

It always amazes me who much folks are taken in by a sound bite here and there

I think his comments since the tour havent done him any favours i think he is coming across as a whinning prima donna. When he sticks to racing i am a big fan of Bertie i backed him last year when he was the forum anti christ to most in here even FF.

MG, if you know that a retort is an archaic word for a large pot; best pun ever. Kudos.

Contador wants Astana to sign Basso - then will they be badass enough for you don?

I'm glad I amused you. 
On a serious note, you might not give a tinkers cuss about twitter but in today's media environment it's a way for riders to have a one way conversation with their fans. Many journalists, and one could argue too many, use it as a primary source for quotes from the likes of LA. It was his and JB's tweets during the Tour that led to journalists speculating on the goings on inside Astana.
If you want another example check out the Sky Friday thread, 6 pages started by one short comment by a cycling journalist on twittter.

Maybe AC did notice when all the Astana cars disappeared into the distance.

So was this alleged incident a part of a twitter war then ?
