Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

Re: Re:

Yea sure let's believe that. I still remember the story where he was just gonna go for a stage win in the vuelta last year.

And he only started training 2 weeks before the vuelta

But what is the point? Why would he lie about it? The only reason I can see is that he is a compulsive liar but I prefer to believe he isn't.

Downplay expectations, like he always does. It might be true but i don't think it is, his shoulders looked completely fine to me and we've seen contador lie before.

He is just looking to find any advantage wherever he can find it. Its the mark of a champion, never underestimate the opposition. Chill people ... he is still going to win fairly easily

Re: Re:

Contador's univers is the biggest lie of all.

Couldnt you use your other accounts for this worthless reply?

Single account, not all world is false.

Just an avalanche of findings you know... Just this.

His previous sockpuppets all got banned.

Alberto, as usual, sandbagging a bit. When TTing, you pull with your abs, lats as well as forearms. The shoulders have very little to no function.

As to why he has to modify his bike... who knows. Maybe his shoulder is worse off than we all thought.

Maybe he's just being a whinny little biatch.

I tend to think the later.

oh ah..loosing 2 minutes? and he is still calm about it? I guess we'll definitely see fireworks.. oh well forget fireworks.. raging burning forest in the mountain more likely!!! I'll take that chance!

And people are still surprised not everyone loves Contador. Mr Whine shall be his new nickname.

Yep he overshoot that, but hopefuly he will improve in that PR...
but whatever *** PR, its about behaviour in person, and he is a good guy.Great champion also.
Fingers crossed for rest of TT.

 

[Jspear]

For everyone who has been talking down AC's TT.

 

[Arredondo]

I feel really bad for Alberto. Imagine if he would not have lost that '2 seconds per km'

 

[ILovecycling]

Venga venga venga!!!!!! AC in MR again

 

[LaFlorecita]

OMG

So close!

People can never say Alberto is overrated in long TTs, ever again

 

[SeriousSam]

And as expected, the big powerful flat time trial specialist annihilates the mountain goats against the clock, now it's about trying to hang on to the specialist climbers in the high mountains. Wait what?

Only sky fans who watched this sport for 3 years said that.

Impressive Contador, I just want to congrats his fans. This is not over, but almost.

He is the real winer of the ITT without wind change.

He was as I expecting from more to lees, but he starting so strong that he finished as well strong.

 

[Velolover2]

Congratulations on winning the Giro, Alberto. Now all you need is at stage win or two.

Finally.. this talk about Porte will take time to contador.. is finally DONE and DUSTED. I'm glad I won't be hearing the hater will saying.. if porte didn't get penalty. Porte's mentally is crumbled like a deck of card! Contador finished 3rd! that should say how his form is. 2nd from Gilbert, 3rd from Kiryenka. 1st will be coming soon!!! Maybe tomorrow, he should just pedal to the metal. STOMP EVERYONE! STAMP HIS AUTHORITY.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Okay, now Alberto needs to defend the jersey and grab a win or two, vamos!

 

[The_Cheech]

Yeaaaah muddafückas!

WHO. THE. MAN?

ALBERTO.

CONTADOR!

 

[SeriousSam]

He should let the stage wins go and just conserve energy.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

"officially" he has never won a giro stage

 

[Arredondo]

Re:

He has to win at least a stage. Winning a GT without a stage win is ugly.

 

[sultanofhyd]

 

[Squirbos_19]

Plus it would look bad if this is his last giro and and he eventually finishes his career palmares with no Giro stage win.

Then again, he should stay around for 2017 to win the 100th edition.
