    Best solo of this year.

    It's not the same a solo in a classic than in a GT, you need cojones to launch an attack with 50km to go in a GT when you are just 28 sec below the leader and with the Bola del Mundo stage remaining

    Vuelta 2012, Stage 17: Santander > Fuente Dé (187 km)

    I'm not a doctor and I didn't say that doing nothing in the rest day was the reason of his perfomance, but it's better to ride a little in your day off. Purito had a bad day, that's all.

    Teams & Riders Chris Froome Discussion Thread.

    I think i have read somewhere that Contador thinks Froome is mentally weak, something like "If I were Froome I wouldn't care if Wiggins is the leader, I attack by myself " Froome seems a nice guy and a great rider, but he needs leaving sky to take his glory.

    Regardless the bad tactics of Purito , I think Contador would have taken the Vuelta, the truth is that Purito was tired, we saw when he couldn't respond to Valverde. If the general hadn't changed yesterday, I think Contador would have launched a kamikaze attack in the Bola leaving Purito...

    Poll: Contador vs. Froome - 2012 Vuelta

    Tell me when someone crushed Contador in a TT. Regardless Froome we have seen just two great perfomances in the Vuelta'011 and Tour'012, we don't know how can he handle the leadership role, I remember when he was free to attack in the Vuelta it seemed that he would crush Cobo and he couldn't...

    Poll: Contador vs. Froome - 2012 Vuelta

    You are right, but anyway Contador smashed the Giro alone, his team was a joke. Nibali with a stronger team and better tactics could put the yellow in danger in this edition.

    Yeah, he deserves a four years ban and loosing all his GTs.

    2012 Vuelta. The Return of the King.

    Some of you are being too optimistic about Contador's perfomance in La Vuelta, but you have to count on the psychological aspect and the lack of competition. I think Contador is mentally strong , we saw in TDF 2009, but a three weeks competition is also about head not just legs.

    Why (and How) Bert Should Appeal

    An advice for Contador, get the USA or french nationality and then appeal.
