2012 Vuelta. The Return of the King.

[Carols]

Rescheduling is not an option unfortunately. I always plan my trip after the Tour, and luckily it ends just before the Vuelta.

Shame but u will be back for the Real Deal

I was in France on vaca once when the Vuelta was on and my traveling companions were miffed because I kept standing them up to watch the race . Learned my lesson, check the race calendar carefully before booking

I will be in France in JUly... but I will try to change my trip to the Vuelta in Espana!

I would love to watch live the return of the king!

Contador: "Me quedan 4 o 5 años de ciclismo, mínimo "

This for LaFlo, he himself told he has 4 or 5 years... at least.

Yes, before he retires.

I just realized that I'm on vacation when Alberto rides the Eneco tour.

don't be disappointed with a bit of luck his comeback will take place later than we expect (this is a joke La Florecita!)

Plan some holidays around some Alberto Contador races then

Couldnt be worse than me.
I've been in South Africa last 3/4 weeks and have travelled to a couple of different places from my main base in Joburg (the main city)
Yet my luck has meant that I have not been within internet access for Flanders, Roubaix and all the Ardennes!
My parents who dont care about cycling one bit, scheduled our trips to rural areas seemingly to coincide with the major classics and i have had to live up to 3 days without having a clue as to the outcome of them!

Oh that sucks. I'll probably have the same problem with the Eneco tour and San Sebastian. Maybe there is some Wifi connection but I don't think I'll be that lucky.

Alberto will ride the Tourmalet stage of the 2010 Tour on the 18th of May.

Good training and a performance check I'd imagine, is he riding solo or with (Saxo) friends do you know?_?

Alone,

"Contador will re-ride '10 TdF Pau-Tourmalet stage as part of ad campaign w/ flex mattresses. Fans can follow online at http://www.flex.es/tourflex/"

"Alberto will ride this stage alone. Wonder if it will be possible for European-based fans to come and watch in person, paint the road, etc?"

"And something to make Contador's female fans happy - scroll down for video of AC's new mattress ad (via @esciclismo ) http://www.esciclismo.com/ampliada.asp?Id=21684"

I highly recommend watching the ad.

Maybe Abandony will join him again.....nah he'll just start looking for the team car and get off the bike at Argeles Gazost....

Actually, he looks in pretty good shape in all the vids there are around....I'd just give him the Vuelta jersey now
