    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    I agree, he is a smart guy who knows how to win, you cant expect him to win every stage, by himself, and attack on every mountain putting 4-5 min into the other contenders on every mountain. However even if he did that, I am sure people would just say it is weak competitions and/or he has motors...

    Is this the last chance Porte will get as leader with Sky?

    Giro Stage 10 Civitanova Marche - Forli 200km

    Re: That I agree, but at the same time, it might something to do with National pride etc, maybe Orica is trying to show they can take better care of Porte than Sky can... ;-) But I do agree, they could give a bonus to Clarke or something, as he was the one doing the fairplay.

    Giro Stage 10 Civitanova Marche - Forli 200km

    Re: Re: Fair play is one thing, but it is not the other guys fault he did not follow the rules. You can argue they should all protest, but then where does it stop? If it is raining and they have descend and a few riders don't like and others do, should they all stop? If there is a crash 3.5...

    Giro Stage 10 Civitanova Marche - Forli 200km

    Re: But surely someone in the car will be screaming in his earpiece he cant do it and has to wait for a teammate? Is this much different than when Porte "illegal" gave Froome a gel as he had forgotten to eat so he could still go ahead and win? Guess Karma is a *** some times.

    2015 Giro First Week Wrap Up

    I still think Uran could come back to some sort of form, but seems he will have to without a team, as not seeing much help for him at all. I hope that Rogers and Kreuziger will come into form, also expected a bit more from Basso and hope he will be stronger going forward, otherwise it might be...

    Doubt it will enough to shut up Oleg, but at least it might helps Sagan's confidence

    2015, 69th Tour de Romandie: April 28 to May 3 (WT)

    Froome for the win, I think Fuglsang could do well as well, maybe top 5?

    Team Tinkoff-SaxoBank -What happens next?

    Maybe De Jongh went to Oleg after the argument and agreed with him and said he was not allowed to do he is best or not allowed to do his preferred training regimes?
