    Doesn't seem like the man himself is too bothered by Boonen's comments: https://www.instagram.com/p/BhMiQHzDZw6/

    Teams & Riders He's coming home!!!! Alejandro Valverde comeback thread.

    Re: Re: Imo, the Valverde/Contador/Nibali palmares comparisons don't really make sense since they are different riders with different strengths. At the end of the day, it'll come down to completely subjective evaluations of the value of their respective victories, ie. is a LBL victory...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Oh man, what a ride it has been the last three weeks. Exciting and emotional. Everything I have to say about Contador, has already been said ITT, so many good posts. I first heard about him during the Paris-Nice of 2007 and his reputation as an aggressive rider made me keep an eye on him during...

    I've never been happier for an athlete. What a perfect ending, a true fairytale. Gracias Alberto!!

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Meh, in the grand scheme of things does it really matter? I mean, being 5 minutes back in 9th place or 7 minutes back in 11th place, I don't think Contador really cares. It should make it a bit easier to go for a stage, and today for Trek it made more sense to let Degenkolb try and win the...

    Our guy looks pretty skinny, doesn't he? With Sagan out, he is one of my last hopes for some entertainment in this race.

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Re: Re: So following this logic, Sky would be better off bringing Vivani instead of fx. Nieve, since Viviani has 10 shots to grab a win while Froome only has 1?

    Eh, he was climbing as well as a Valverde in the shape of his life. Could be worse.

    Rate the 2017 Giro d'Italia

    Weird race. The racing in itself was pretty unremarkable except for stage 20 imo, none of the pre-race favorites really impressed and the first two weeks were a bit boring. However, the narratives and all the randomness made it a pretty memorable race together with the close final, and an...

    Teams & Riders Peter Sagan discussion thread.

    Re: Yeah, when I saw him always being near the front before Arenberg, I thought he was gonna do something big today and the move with Oss, Bodnar and Stuyven seemed really promising. But his punctures happened at the absolute worst times. And in the end I think he simply gave up. He did...

    2017 Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, March 20-26, WT

    Jeez, how does that old fart keep getting better? Very impressive. I've never been a fan of Valverde but doing the 3 GT's last year, I must admit I am starting to warm up to him a bit. And hats off to him for not doing the boring old "follow-wheels-and-sprint-for-the-win"-tactic.

    Re: Re: Froome closes the gap at 31:31 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sqp4nErX48 Just after that Contador makes his attack.
