Can Armstrong beat Contador ?
Not based on what he's been showing since the 2007 TDF, unless he
trounces him in the ITT. Could be a replay of 85/86 between Lemond and Hinault... Discuss.

He has super-powers that he uses only for evil, you know. On a serious note, I don't think he could out-climb Contador, but I think he could stay close to him. Hell, even Leipheimer has shown the ability to stay with him. As for the TT issue, hands-down Armstrong would crush him.
