It's Contador's trademark. it would look stupid if another rider did the sae. Even if he ment something different.

Spot the guy who wished he had a Sky contract.
Stupid question, and way off topic, but how do you show a 4?Bavarianrider said:Actually not!
The way Tonys signals 2 is not the way Germans show a 2.
We Germans go one = thumb, 2 = thumb and forefinger, 3 = thumb and forefinger and ringfinger.
However, having spent many years in an American tea, i guess Tony has picked up the American way of number shoing with fingers.

Mellow Velo said:Meh.
Just a caption contest response, bit of nonsense, seeing who posted the photo.
Ironically, on another forum, I'm thought to be a sky hater.
I guess this place brings out the worst in me.

i can do it with my left but not my right (the one i had surgeries on after busting me elbow) unless i really, really concentrate... either hand, though, it ain't pretty. (an admission, i avoided ordering 4 of anything when i was in Paris because i always would count out the numbers on my hand in case they didn't understand the accent )Buffalo Soldier said:Stupid question, and way off topic, but how do you show a 4?
Tried it with using my thumb, and it's impossible for me

noone i knew that was native, though, had a problem... maybe it's muscle memory?
Are you a fan of Sean Kelly by any chance?Pulpstar said:Tony was feeling good and he made the calculation. You have to make the calculation to go just a little bit faster in the second half whilst making the calculation
Sean Kelly use the word 'calculations' all the time, in a similar way you used it. That's why I asked.Pulpstar said:He commentates real good
Ha, Just find his idiosynchratic commentary style very amusing

Yes, that's great result for him as Proconti rider, totally unexpected! He defeated some big names...great!TomasC said:Barta 7th, excellent!
sure, that helped, but if Bert rode like usual and Tony never saw him (or got that quick motorpace from Bert's lead moto) he probably would have been 5 sec slower, or maybe 4 sec and won by 1 sec, who knows. seeing and chasing someone usually helps in a TT.cineteq said:Nah, Martin's experience did.
Gotcha, actually Martin said it gave him more motivation to catch Alberto.CobbleStoner said:sure, that helped, but if Bert rode like usual and Tony never saw him (or got that quick motorpace from Bert's lead moto) he probably would have been 5 sec slower, or maybe 4 sec and won by 1 sec, who knows. seeing and chasing someone usually helps in a TT.
