Btw, i noticed that AC stated giving interviews in english again, and he has improved quite a bit since joining Riis. It's nice to see, and will probably improve his relations with the saxons

With the high volume of uphill finishes, I predict a high volume of race leaders.
How many times will the Leader's Jersey changes hands? 3, 4, 8......

I'm not being a fanboy, once he has the leaders jersey in a GT he just never lost it.

He probably figured that, no matter how bad he thought his English was, it would be much better than Vidarte's (his press officer).Ney the Viking said:Btw, i noticed that AC stated giving interviews in english again, and he has improved quite a bit since joining Riis.

BillytheKid said:I think you will find the one who takes it and tries to hold it early will lose in the end. This is more a race of attrition than any I've seen in the past. I do not discount Alberto, but he will pick the time and place, and I predict it will not be early.

I'm under the impression it's Fran (his brother) who is behind Alberto's tweets.DominicDecoco said:His Twitter updates are always both in spanish and english and he has really improved in the latter.
(His spanish is still useless though)...

El Pistolero said:He obviously doesn't write his own English tweets. He probably has someone around him that speaks decent English when he's out training or doing whatever I know.

You can't really compare English to Cancellaran though.El Pistolero said:Because his English is too good on his tweets. You'd expect him to make grammatical mistakes like Cancellara and Gilbert when he tweets in English.
