    Is Contador the most popular cyclist ever?

    Most popular ever, well I think we need to let his palmares age a bit before we can compare them to the reservas of ages past. Current rider he is one if not the most popular by some of the reasons mention by the op. Although not being forced down our throats like Armstrong, Alberto has been...

    Landa disrespects contador and Spain

    It isn't that hard to understand as discrimination and racism exist everywhere. For me cycling has opened a different view to Europe than what I had when I was younger (to be honest I never really cared for most of Europe) and to be honest I am amazed that it can exist as a cohesive economical...

    Landa disrespects contador and Spain

    Aru is not Spanish and had his hat off. Landa should done the same. Contador had his had I hand over his chest, Mikel should've stood like Aru. I am not Catholic but if I step into a church I would take whatever head garment I am wearing, just our if respect even though I am firmly against...

    After 2nd restday, Who will win this Giro? ('14)

    what rest? oh you mean those 22% and 20% ramps ideal to pick up momentum. i know it is that slow gradient that goes form 9% to 15% almost seamesly. on a more serious note and not a deffensive coment; have you ridden anything over 10% for more than 10km? i have ridden half of that at the end of...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Is it the yellow kit or Alberto's quads look a bit better than in years past? Is it just the color that makes then look bigger? As far as Chris being the favorite we know that the TDF is a race where momentum matters and i have not seen that much from Froome this year. Meanwhile Alberto has...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    \ why do fans insist on putting cheap club music on alberto's clips? if it was me i would put some of conte's music when he is about to attack, or some music by carl orff, an alegro when he is dancing on the pedals and something along those lines; at least something more climatic.

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    contador is a like a great opera singer and the gt routes are the operas he must perform, like in every opera an tempo attack is immenen. the question is how early, late or long that attack is going to be? and sometimes is not going to reflect just raw power, but style in a dramatic fashion...

    observations of John Hoberman

    "The activity itself has become pharma-dependent. And the idea that the best-intentioned people at the World Anti-doping Agency are going to make this go away is a dream." this makes him sound believable, but now with being involved in certain movements sounds like "if i was king of the world..."

    i think that roche is a better rider to attack than roman. roman might be the more gifted rider, but roche (at least to me) is the more savvy rider. regardless seems that contador will be well protected.
