    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    I agree. A one-day race in the real mountains would really add something to the international calemdar...

    :-D Has this guy ever even won any one-day-race? Seriously, I’d love to know.

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    I am pretty astounded by ACs performance, taking into consideration his (said) injuries from the Tour and the (alleged) subsequent forced break from training which he had to face. To be honest, I guess we have reason to believe that the Saxo camp has bluntly lied to the public (and the...

    R.E.S.P.E.C.T. to Chris Horner

    I’d rather see Horner race than this pistolero guy. No way his appearance in the race is bright :-s

    Nibali at the same level as Froome/Contador?

    Would AC have won in 2007 had Rasmussen been allowed to finish the race? NO. Capitalized terms are mine. Love speculation... I think the whole discussion is ridiculous. I used to bash AC fans in the past here who used to lament that any win in a race which AC missed/lost was worthless for...

    I SO hope that you are right... Porte, Nibali and Valverde will hopefully be able to give AC a race for his money :-)

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    True. Froome rides almost overly aggressive (even compared with a notorious attacker like AC). However, IF in form (and we should assume that he is right now) this usually works out. Point is: Nobody knows how strong Froome is this year. We have seen all from AC already, (improved compared...

    Kreuziger going down?

    That was not exactly what I intended to say. Got carried away a little. I just wonder how so many people now can call "Sky responsible!" when a guy in a team led - on the road and in the car - by proven and convinced dopers gets sidelined for doping investigations. Of course Sky may also be...

    Kreuziger going down?

    +1 I mean lets look at it. On the one side, we have a team lead by one of the worst dopers in history, with a GT rider who was banned for doping, socialized by full-blooded dope supporters like Saiz and Bruyneel, and interestingly giving a comeback this year which indicates that he is back on...

    Contador and Froome: Clean or Dirty?

    Of course I can understand if people have doubts in Froomes performances. However, I prefer to trust in him (maybe because I am used to be dissapointed by my cyclong idols, since Ulle was caught in 2006). However, there is an important difference between Froome and AC: one may BELIEVE that...

    I hope Knees makes the gut. Great gregario.

    I made a rather lame joke referring to some weight-reducing stuff which was once found in ACs System. Never mind...

    Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

    Sky would at least be stronger in the valleys with Wiggo. Topic: I have thought a little regarding AC and his "comeback" this year. Even if I stand my ground that he will not win the Tour again (and I, for obvious reasons, don't like him), I have to admit that his improvement in form compared...

    The Climb (Froome's first autobiography)

    That's something nobody can deny even if most of ACs successes do not result from talent or tactical instinct but from a great and ruthless medical program. This guy is such a great responder...
