Tour de France winner Alberto Contador has admitted relations between him and Astana teammate Lance Armstrong, seven-times Tour champion, are non-existent.
Contador, who clinched his second Tour victory on Sunday, said: "My relationship (with Armstrong) is nil.
"He's a great champion, and he had a great race in this Tour, but it's something else on a personal level, where I've never had a great admiration for him, and I never will. But as a rider he is a champion.
"On this Tour the two riders who had the most weight in the team did not have a smooth relationship."
