Johan Bruyneel has H1N1 vius

lucybears — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:14:41 -0000

Back from the Tour of Ireland, the American rider Craig Lewis (Team Columbia-HTC) and the Belgian manager of Team Astana Johan Bruyneel have contracted the virus.

All indications are that both men have been affected by the virus in Ireland. Craig Lewis felt the first symptoms of the pandemic as it was back home in South Carolina. For its part, the famous manager, winner of nine Tours de France through Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador, has been hospitalized in Marbella, Spain.

More on Contador v Armstrong

lucybears — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 12:27:58 -0000

I posted this link 'A Tale of solitude' (about the fact there was no team car to take Contador to the start of the Annecy time trial) http://www.diariosur.es/20090727/deportes/ciclismo/fiesta-privada-contador-20090727.html in our thread here

http://www.podiumcafe.com/2009/7/26/963370/changed-impressions-or-im-rooting

Now, from El Pais, comes more details of Contador v Armstrong

http://www.elpais.com/articulo/deportes/uomo/solo/comando/elpepidep/20090727elpepidep_2/Tes

that I judge deserves a separate thread
