I dont know, it was basically a 1 day mtf. We already know Contador is the absolute king of this kind of profile. Cant really compare to a 270k up and down Liege.RHRH19861986 said:After today, I think, if Contador would peak for the Ardennes one day, he´d be able to win even Liege. Really impressive, and promising for Saturday.
Today´s race was a real confirmation that he´s a complete champion, no doubt about that. Now it´s up to him to add a WT one day race win, and he will face a highly motivated and on-form Gilbert on Saturday.
why do you persist in calling contador "velasco"?trevim said:Velasco opens his classics record! Great result, I love when a rider wins something that isn't really his specialty. Also Betancour up there, this guy has to ride the Ardennes next year as a leader.
Velasco should just quit that moronic salute, I mean he's got so much class uphill and then he ruins everything on the finish line.shadowblue said:why do you persist in calling contador "velasco"?
if andy and frank can, it would not be out of this world for contador to take it. as it is now contador is a better tt rider wich would help in a solo effort, and he has a better acceleration than the shlecks.The Hitch said:I dont know, it was basically a 1 day mtf.

Hey pal really, cut that pistolero crap once and for all, you're not a 7 years old anymore.
BTW. Great race, great action, glad to see MI-TO back!!!
Do you know how ridiculous he would look if he'd stop doing it just because some random fans think it's stupid.bridgeman said:I couldn't agree more.
I started a thread, "I was hoping he would do that again" after a recent win. A mod locked the thread, stating "this thread won't go anywhere".
I think this stupid salute needs discussing. Someone should tell him how ridiculous he looks.

For the bolded.Mellow Velo said:I watched the whole thing last night.
Really frightening crash for Niemiec;
underneath the crash barrier and wrapped around the support post.
Contador pulled the legs right off Nibali, getting up to the front three,
then almost immediately hit them with a scalding attack.
Almost like the old days.
Very impressive rides from Kessiakoff and especially Diego Ullissi.
Thought El Pistolero's gun was very small calibre at the finish;
a token pop. Really naff salute.
Not the whole race mind youAlpehue said:Anywhere online one can rewatch it?

aye, but he looked good compared to his Italian challengersRyo Hazuki said:after seeing this race. nibali is just at his regular level. he's nowhere close to contador or purito in climbing and he went too long to deep to follow contador. amazing jump of old by contador though.
Cheers, thank youZam_Olyas said:
It's just as stupid (even though it bears some relationship with his name), but we see it less often.kingjr said:Funny how many people seem to have a problem with the pistol gesture. Did you care as much when Flecha did his Arrow salute?

We shouldn't really blame Alberto that he wins much more often than FlechaArnout said:It's just as stupid (even though it bears some relationship with his name), but we see it less often.
You certainly have no respect for riders' personalities.Arnout said:It's just as stupid (even though it bears some relationship with his name), but we see it less often.
