You often think that Vino will rescue you when you're in trouble?

If he's not too busy rescuing kittens, fighting for world peace or saving the world with his sidekick DM at that particular time
 
From the "Who will win 2012 Tour" thread (Let's completely ignore that last sentence):

Seems like the Giro made sure us that steepness gives nothing by itself. Yes, Toussuire has only 6% at average, but again, a superclimber doesn't need steep pieces to attack. Contador attacked at 4% Etna section using a 53 gear and riding as though that was a flat. Andy will demonstrate something simlilar probably even in a more entertaining style.

A Q: Alberto didn't attack on a 4% incline right? Because that would totally go against the type of climber he is. (He has said several times he prefers to attack on 8-10% parts.)
 
Nice little clip.

But I especially like the comments... Some quotes..

I just love Alberto's charisma

Alberto Contador is always very nice, friendly and tries his best even in this english interview that is obviously not easy for him.

He has been treated very unfairly during the Tour de France 2011 but he never became angry or rude.

Alberto Contador is an unbelieveble sportsman

in this years giro d italia he droves for his ex-teammate Tiralongo and gives him the victory and rujano too

Alberto u are the champion and u are one of the best cyclists ever

Alberto is a class act and always will be.

Contador is actually very nice and polite, unlike what many people make him out to be.

I mean, just look at how he ended the interview with his warm and genuine smile. Would the Schlecks do that?

Contador is a Legend

This one's awkward though:
Spaniards and the Portuguese are Moorish-Gypsy mixed! You are not Europeans!
 
True winner of the 2010 Tour

"66 days until the return of the greatest cyclist alive."

Not all riders come back at the top of their game. You may have to be patient with Alberto. Just warning you now in case you are disappointed.

Interestingly, judging by what Alberto says, he's in a better shape than ever
