    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Also would love to see an all or nothing attack for the win from Contador at some point this vuelta regardless if it succeeds or fails.

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Read an interesting article on skysports that brought up the point that one of the reasons Contador has been so "unlucky" with crashes is down to his team. He is often quite isolated in finishes, whereas riders like Froome and Quintana always are sheltered by their team mates and will have a...

    By How Much Will Quintana Win The 2016 Vuelta With?

    I think he still needs 30-1min on Froome for the TT. Plus Contador may get stronger so a long range attack is not impossible. While Quintana is very much the massive favourite, this race is not over.

    2016 La Vuelta a Espana, Stage 1: : Ourense termal. B. de La

    Even though I like Contador him losing 50 seconds could be a huge blessing for the excitement of the race

    Do you think Gesink will have good form? He was really strong in 2015 tour

    Teams & Riders Mark Cavendish Discussion Thread

    You can't disqualify someone for causing a crash accidentally. Crashes happen in every race (especially in a race like the points race), all the riders accept that all it takes is a reckless or careless move and they will hit the deck.

    Teams & Riders Mark Cavendish Discussion Thread

    So happy with him getting a medal :) I doubt Cav would ever take someone out deliberately btw- he was just very careless

    Wiggins Discussion thread.

    I don't understand the lack of respect for this guy, what he has done is nothing short of remarkable. To have an oustanding track career, transition to the road, win the tour, a few one week races, a TT world championship, a TT olympic gold and top ten PR, and then move back to the track and win...

    Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

    Re: I really hope so! Although I would be surprised if Quintana went, and I think Valverde may focus on the tour too. Pinot would benefit massively from it, but there would be considerable pressure from the French for him to focus on the tour. TJVG may have too much ego to miss the tour (but...

    Cyclingweekly seems to think Meinjtes will leave Lampre for the new Bahrain team

    Teams & Riders Vincenzo Nibali discussion thread

    Looks as if this new Bahrain team will come to fruition for next year, so Nibbles will probably be riding for them for 2017. Do you think they will want him to ride the tour next year? I would think that as an Italian the 100th edition of the Giro must hold some appeal.

    2016 Vuelta a España, Info & Discussion

    I wonder if Aru will ride the Vuelta. Had quite a poor tour and has not won much this year.
