Re:

He has this

 

[Ryaguas]

Contador finding his racing legs and making a point to Nairo, Latour just awesome, massive props to him

Re:

Quintana is going to need Valverde's descending talents at the Tour.

With the form of Valverde, he will not be at the position to help him.

Re:

Who is this Latour guy anyway? Clearly the most entertaining rider today.

Neo pro, climber/stage racer

 

[Irondan]

Contador does it on the descent.. Amazing!

 

[BigMac]

Thibaut also used to be very bad descending, the one year later he was leading the group down the mountains. #stillroomforimprovement #heisgoingtobedestroyedthisyeartho

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Just think, this is the kind of finale Andy Schleck was calling to ban. And if they'd made it an MTF (not that even the Route du Sud would be able to host an MTF at Balès) there'd have been zero GC gap at all

 

[KyoGrey]

The difference between a legendary champion and an ordinary rider in terms of ambition.

I wouldn't call Quintana legendary, at least not yet.

Legendary champion = Contador

Ordinary rider in terms of ambition = Quintana

I guess it's not 100% his fault, it goes back all the way to Unzue's tactics...

Re:

Quintana looking shakey!

yep veeery bad descent

 

[BigMac]

Re: Re:

Quintana drops in the descent

Nice.

You coming around to Contador?

On a Contador - Quintana mano a mano, I'll root for Contador anyday!

The way you totally dodged my question, there's a career out there in cycling PR, Managment, or even Dsing if you want it.

I didn't understand it then, can you rephrase?

Re:

I still remember AC, Samu and Menchov flying down this decent in 2010

Dude, you need to reread what you wrote.

Menchov flying down a descent?

 

[Ryaguas]

AC with 2 or 2.5kg more

 

[Miburo]

"Quintana loooked the strongest" Who is that dumbass next to kirby?

He didn't do anything, contador lead the whole climb

 

[The Hitch]

Re: Re:

lol. That win comes about 25 days late for Contador if you ask me.

 

[Irondan]

Latour - ride of the day.

 

[Marco Pantani]

Quintana holding his cards to hs chest. He will beat everybody up next month.

Menchov flying down a descent?

He went with the 2 of them and never lost the wheel of Samu that was 2nd 90% of the time. So yeah he was killing it as well haha

 

[ILovecycling]

Alberto great ride!
Latour amazing

Re:

He looked kinda wasted at the finish line, understandable after 2 month with no racing

we dont know who was the strongest, but Alberto is certainly more dangerous

 

[Libertine Seguros]

If he has a guide wheel, Menchov can do ok. The second he loses that wheel? Forget about it, he's done for the day.

 

[TomekA]

Interesting stage, I'm happy that both of them finished this stage in one piece.

its brian smith and to be fair nairo followed every move very easily just seems like he is not a confident descender and that wasn't even particularly technical. He needs to go and recce the allos descent a few times or Bert and Nibbles are going to have a field day.

Re:

from the 3 seconds I heard before switching stream I thought it was BS. Don't take smith lightly. He is a former teammate and superfriend of Lance Armstrong as well as JTL's manager.

No fan of Contador. In 2010 he was calling for Contador's head all while saying he knew 100% Armstrong was clean as he rode with him, and everyone who says otherwise are just jealous bitter wankers bla bla bla. 2 days after Armstrong fell he was crying he eyes out in the newspaper about how he always knew Lance was bad and tried to take credit for bringing LA down.

More versatile, you mean. No indications of pure climbing strength today, but Contador showing why he's such a great champion in all aspects of racing.
