Purito and Bala don't get along anymore for a long time. They are more enemies then friends.
Alberto gets alomg with both of them fine. I have never noticed any hostilities between them.
Well I know for a fact Piti doesn't like Alberto. He wants to be considered the #1 Spanish rider and Alberto is in the way.
You conclude from an interview where Valverde said he considers himself the best spanish rider of the 21st century that he doesn't like Contador. That comment might be a bit awkward from piti, but it doesn't suggest he dislikes/hates Contador.
There is nothing that suggests they are friends, but I really don't see a personal grudge between these 2, unlike Purito and Valverde .......
Edit: actually there is plenty that suggests they are friends since they said so.
I don't know, but I always have the impression that AC and Purito get along rather better than AC and Valverde. I think there's professional respect for one another, but not any particular warmth, but I'll be the first to admit this is only an impression and I'm not aware of any evidence for any bad blood between them.
That said, I don't think you'd ever hear anything outright, because they are far too experienced in the ways of the media and fundamentally professional in their approach to trade insults on twitter or whatever.
I have the exact same impression about their relationship as well, but that's an impression.
Contador said he was friends with Valverde. I really doubt he is real friends with him, but if you really dislike someone you are not going to say he is a friend.
To clarify I don't think they hate each other. I just think Alberto was lying when he said Valverde is his friend
