Just yesterday LaFlo was saying stuff like this.

Alberto is never going to win a GT again. There I said it. He doesn't have it anymore.

Do you guys know this feeling, you know, that you just can't see it happening? That. Since 2010.

Do you still have this feeling after what he did today? :D

Damn he has a lot of big friends. Still waiting for Nadal and Alonso to react.

I said it yesterday. I know he was going to something about this. This guy his heart is so big, he wants to win so much.

It's just unbelievable, sometimes I think that I still underestimate his desire to win. It's just so BIG.

LEGEND!!!

Whenever I read comments about Contador's supposed poor tactical skills, I think about his entire body of work (GTs over past 5 years) and marvel at how - by the end of three weeks - he always find a time and place to make the moves that make the difference. Sure, he burns a few matches needlessly here and there, but who is the better bike racer? Someone who sits back, only attacks when it's sure thing, or a racer like Contador who will risk a few setbacks with lost battles to make sure he wins the wars. Smart, smart, smart.
