Another portuguese commentator saying that Contador's "numbers" were good and so the team decided to put him in the race. Yeah nothing to do with passion and sheer determination:rolleyes:

I've stopped giving any credibility to anything said by TS regarding Contador. I'm waiting to see how he looks on the road.

The point is: does anyone imagine Contador " oh I went 300W on that nasty climb so let's go do the Vuelta". These guys are journalists, they should know better and not take every bul**** teams put out as absolute truth.

where is kirby getting all of this nonsense about Valverde keeping Quintana out of the Tour? Has anyone else reported this?

Well iirc Quintana said in january he wasn't sure with GT he had to do for his team.

I'm pretty sure valverde had to do something with the decision that quintana did the giro but now obviously he can't claim this anymore.
