    Re: Agreed but he bull *** alot, regarding his form. It was interesting pre retirement but he should own it now. I have no idea what happened between the early season to the Dauphine. His form dropped off a cliff.

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Father time is un-defeated. I think Alberto's consistency has let him down in the last 3 years and it's too much for him to overcome to win a grand tour. He mentioned a record time up a climb before the 2017 Tour, yet he looked like he was under-trained at the Dauphine, yet strong in the early...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Im crossing my fingers for one last bit of heroic's from one of my idol's. I know its winding down but selfishly I just want one last bit. I get emotional watching him attack, not tears, just fired up , proud. In reference to the 2009 Tour, he showed what an alpha dog he was, to resist...

    His form since the Dauphine, looks worse than earlier in the season. Tomorrow he could lose 4-5 minutes the way it looks. He says he wanted a mild lead up to the Tour to have energy but he looks under trained. I hope he is hiding something.

    His Tour looks close to being over. Not sure where his form is. Today looked like an extension of the Dauphine, regardless of the rain. Contador mentioned not going into the red at the Dauphine but lost 3 mins to Froome, Bardet, Porte and Aru on stage 8, yet Contador mentioned a few days ago...

    Re: Re: Doctor suggest Contador stay off the bike for 2 weeks. He will be back on 6-7 days, imo or less. Also I believe he will be in Rio and 100% be at the 2016 Vuelta. He said this on his twitter page in 2014 “Bad day, the wound healing gets complicated, I’ve no date to take the bike...

    Re: Re: I think if he feels good, he will attack the sky Train in the mountains from distance and disrupt that systematic train up the mountains and maybe stress Froome out and if he is on a bad day possibly then who knows. What about Quintana though, he wont be easy to dislodge in the...

    Re: Oleg is a distraction, talked to much about Riis too. He seeks attention. Anyway if Alberto feels that Movistar attacked him while injured, it will only fuel the fire. Contador knows his body and potentially the form he can hit during this Tour. Maybe he can do something special, at...
