got the inside scoop before the race started.
Alberto Contador has said that in addition to the Schleck brothers, Carlos Sastre, Denis Menchov and, of course, Cadel Evans, he will have to face down his own teammates, Levi Leipheimer and Lance Armstrong.

"I will have to deal with [Denis] Menchov, [Cadel] Evans, the Schleck brothers, [Carlos] Sastre and my teammates Armstrong and Leipheimer," he told the legendary pink rag.
It seems to me a destructive way of thinking,
forming the idea of division rather than unity
and therefore diminishing the power present in Team Astana.
Already having to deal with the 'sponsor-issue',
Team Astana now has to face the possibility having too many 'chiefs' and not enough 'indians' to support the different 'chiefs'.
The strength of any given leader lies not in his strength, but rather in the unity of his team.
A team is as strong as the strength of its weakest link....
In years past we have seen the power of destruction at work, when a team decides to wait several stages before unveiling the true leader;
breakaways were brought back by their own team mates
and not before long the spirit of the that team broke.
Let us hope Johan Bruyneel has the insight and tact to bring together the minds of his riders, in order to succeed in the quest of another maillot jaune in the Tour de France.
