ANALYSIS: Armstrong's fall leaves Astana to Contador uncontestedValladolid, Spain  - The lowly Vuelta of Castilla and Leon cleared up more issues than expected in the duel between US cycling legend Lance Armstrong and young Spaniard Alberto Contador for leadership of the Astana team.

Armstrong, 37, crashed in the first stage of the race and withdrew with a broken collarbone.

With the injury, he leaves team leadership to his challenger without a great show of force by either. More importantly, Armstrong's training is greatly jeopardized ahead of the Tour de France in July.
