Well done, legend! It's in the books now. Vamos Conta! Y con un par!

Re: Re: -- bolding mine. You are one to talk. I'd have to use Google translator if I cared to know what you're writing about most of the time. But since it all boils down to hating Contador, no need.

Re: Re: We must have watched different feeds of the same stage. :rolleyes:

Not sure why I bother watching. ;)

Wouldn't be surprised if this stage turns out to be a reprise of La Farrapona. I see Sky pulling like mad to launch Froome @ Ancares...and Beto going right with him when he does. The rest is deja-vu all over again with perhaps Alberto putting in a bigger charge. Just because he feels he can...

How very sly of you. What are you, twelve? :rolleyes:

Yes fato, nin? As a 58 y.o. Asturian overseas, I am certainly biased. But the few times La Vuelta decides to skip the Asturian offering of Los Picos de Europa or even La Cordillera Cantabrica, La Vuelta, IMHO is all the poorer for it. As the gentleman a few posts above, hfer07 mentioned...

Disagree. As much as cycling is one of the most physically demanding sports in the world, if you don't have both a clear head and a complete awareness of what it is you need to do, you'll end-up racing like a chicken with its head cut-off. Find me a single multi-GT winner that did it with...

BIG tactical differences between Lagos yesterday and La Farrapona 2day. It was to both Purito & Balaverde's advantage to work with Alberto yesterday, as they'd likely could have created a large enough gap where they could have secured their podium standings vis-a-vis Froome. They let Alberto...

Good enough overall translation. I'll add that he also said that as always he'll go for the win as long as his body allows it. In short what he implied and we already know, is that he isn't riding for second place. He was also very thankful for all the support he gets from fans. Has he ever...

Grazie mille! Great race. That's the unstoppable Alberto we've come to know and love!

It's something we've kind of copied from Brazilians over time. As you know their football stars have long been known on a first name -- or nick -- basis (Pele, Zico, Ronaldo, Romario, Juninho, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Kaka et al) -- so now you have the likes of Raul, Iker, Xavi, Xabi, Isco etc. But...

Video appears to be up on RAI but I am getting "copyright restrictions." 93rd Milano-Torino

It is an exception, mostly due to his Mom's surname being "Blanco" or "White" in Spanish. He was -- and still is -- a Real Madrid icon. Connect the dots... ;) --- Vamos Conta! Con un par!

Yeah, but as we all know, Andy's capacity for recovery is superhuman -- be it from a tough stage or a hard fall. Meanwhile, the frail Contador is the one with the 7 GTs. Enjoy.
