15th Stage: Contador shows he got something
Alberto Contador (112, Spain) attacks 5 times against current maillot jaune Michael Rasmussen (58, Denmark). 15th stage tour France 2007, col de Peyresourde (1st category), 23-07-2007. Comments by Carlos De Andrés (TVE) & Pedro Delgado (winner Tour 1988).
Alberto Contador takes part in tour for 2nd time and he’s the best young this year. His current general 2nd place confirms him as the brilliant future of cycling. Comparisons with Lance Armstrong are coming but it’s soon to talk about a guy is only 24 years old.
Two stages after, Rasmussen won at Aubisque but he was fired by his team (Rabobank) because of dark reasons related to the place he was training and maybe closer to doping activities. At the age of 33, he also avoided several anti-doping controls just before Le Tour started and was excluded from Denmark cycling team.
