Now that the Tour de France 2009 is over, the fur is finally flying. Alberto Contador, winner of the Tour, has come out and told the world what his real feelings are towards Armstrong — that he has never admired Lance and never will – personally, that is. Professionally, it’s a different story, says Contador, but then again how do you separate feelings? Are they in different containers? One must spill out into the other.
Contador also said that being around Armstrong was much more difficult than the entire Tour. “The situation was very delicate and tense because the conflict with Armstrong spread to the rest of the team. I don’t know yet which team I will be joining after this but I need a team that stands by me 100 percent.”

Embarrassing moment of the Tour: the Tour organization played the Danish national anthem, not the Spanish one, when Contador was on the stand.
Although everyone has known that the relationship between the two men had always been tense even before the Tour when Contador joined Astana (not knowing Armstrong would join later and challenge him as team leader), neither has openly come out against the other . . . until now.
