    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    I am very confident Alberto will find a way to crack Froome in the mountains, and crack him really big! Also my advice is not to count him out from TTs as well. Maybe the good old Alberto will have a few surprises for you even today! :)

    Could it be the allergy or the high temperatures in this stage? I remember he had a similar stage in the Vuelta 2012 where he limited his losses to 39 sec or something. There should be some explanation for this. I refuse to believe this is his form at the moment...

    I still continue to think Contador is not pushing it mentally and physically yet and/or is playing the "dead fox" card... Don't underestimate him! Never!

    Those who think Alberto is not the man to beat at TDF this year due to some February-March not so good results are highly delusional and live under a rock. Just relax, sit and watch!

    In my opinion he is toying in these races, looking who can do what and doesn't give his current 100% in a way to deceive the competition for when it will count. I've seen these many times with other cyclists and even other sports. I do understand he is not even close to top form in reality but...

    What a pity. I was so excited about this Giro-Tour stuff. Contador is missing a very good opportunity here. I really hope he knows what he is doing! Anyway, I don't think it is a final decision. There is still time and depending on how he feels he can decide and do both.

    WOW. He won the Tour without Contador and Schleck, with underpar Evans and on the wheel of his better team mate Froome, and of course in a course of so many TTs! Very good this Wiggo! :)

    Wiggins is not a factor. I doubt he will win the Giro even if Contador doesn't ride. I wonder where does all this Wiggo hype come from?

    I think you underestimate Contador. There is also one very big difference between 2011 and now. This time he is doing his own schedule and will be prepared in advance for both. In 2011 he didn't know if he would ride Giro then he didn't know if he would ride TDF due to the ban. Now he knows he...

    Guys, can you help me and give me a link where I can buy Contador's riding sunglasses from Vuelta 2012 with the yellow frames and what brand exactly are they?
