Who is the better rider at this point in there careers?

Floyd Landis or Chris Horner? Landis' wins look about the same as Horners, but in 2010 who will be a better rider. And right know who do you guys think is the better rider? Based on natural god given talent, I would have to say Landis is a better rider.

Micheal Rogers TdF overall?

Just read that he wants to win The Tour of Cali and Tour de France. If your going to dream, dream big I guess. When was the last time, if ever that a team had a overall winner AND green jersey winner in the Tour de France. I know Cav ain't giving that up.

Contador free to go?

Appears to be the case... http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/astanas-protour-application-still-not-in-order-contador-free-to-go So what's everyone's guess? Will he choose Quick Step, Caisse d'Epargne or Garmin-Slipstream? I say he goes to Garmin

Giro in the US

Publicity stunt and logistical nightmare? Or worthy tribute? One solution: Race on trainers whilst on the flight from DC/NYC to Italy.

LA' Indurain comment

... For me, that encapsulates his whole argument: That AC ought to show him respect and cede him the leadership role, because of his record. AC obviously never bought that. I'm fairly neutral about this For those who aren't sure what the comment was: "I probably would have done it...

So Astana has made a 8 million euro salary offer to Contador, double of what he had been expecting. What are the salaries of other top pros?

Suggested Pro cycling books?

Ok, I've just gotten into cycling and enjoy reading about the pros. I've read (in this order) Positively False, Floyd Landis (or It was all technical errors and I'm clean) From Lance to Landis (or everybody dopes, except maybe two guys.)
