Contador's cadence on the last climb yesterday was interesting. He choose for a lighter gear/higher cadence instead of grinding it o Ut like he usualy does (from the small amount of footage I have seen)

Re: Re: It's just a question of alternating his training program. in the winter he will focus on doing many long hour rides with a low intensity building a good base form for the season, often including some extra strength/core training. Then at the beginning of the season intensity of the...

Re: Re: Balls man, he got em

Re: :cool: Everyone is riding for second, third, fourth, boring.. Wel except nibs

Quintana should have followed nibs, dumb man

Contador nice cadence

Sagan is a beast

Re: I think he will do 1 final year at tinkoff.

Re: Hmm could be a good move for him, if Tinkoff improves his climbing squad this winter. It surprises me that some people hate him to a point that they want him to leave the sport. Sponsors are dropping everywhere and he pumps in millions, we should be happy with the guy. Sure his is a bit...

Re: The main point was not that he rode a lot out of the saddle as usual, but his gearing that just not optimal. I've been saying this for a while and the good dr notices it too apparently :p His force peaks are too high, very different compared too his cadence from 2007/2012. for example...

Ferrari : " Alberto Contador deservedly won his third Giro, despite a performance level lower than that of his previous victories. He looked rather uneasy and "tied up" on the climbs, very often out of the saddle and pushing too long a gear relatively to his power outputs. Without any team...

Re: Re: Remember that one rider from bmc in 2013 that could follow Nibali in the giro on the mtf, Nibali gifted him the stage. Forgot his name. Anyways he was just injecting a bit of epo and could follow the best, close to Froome in the Tirreno, and he was not anorexic either. The dude had a...
