Honestly, the biggest problem with this whole mess is the 2011 Giro. I don't think anybody believed he was doped during that race, but since he got a back-traced ban they basically had to pretend he never even rode it in the first place.[/quote]

Lol wut?

Is this post serious?

 

[RedheadDane]

Walkman : Yes I do, believe he was riding clean.

Hitch: Yes it is. Was he tested positive during the 2011 Giro? No. So I don't really have any reason to believe he wasn't clean.

That's something differnt than saying no one should have a reason to think he wasn't doped though.

You've your opinion of course.

Re: Re:

{SNIPPED for Clinic Content }

As for making The Double. Actually, even if he "only" manages a top-10 in the Tour I would still be rather impressed. When was the last time anyone did just that? Also, we're talking about a guy whose worst GT result since 2007 is a 4th place in the 2013 Tour (and worst ever a 31st place in the 2005 Tour), not counting the 2014 Tour, DNFing is not a result!
And, yes, I know that technically he got 5th in the 2011 Tour, but if I'm not going to count the good results during that period - I'm not, just easier to go with the official standings - then I'm not going to count the bad ones either.

I don't want to drag this into the clinic, so I am only asking {SNIPPED for CLINIC Content}
?

Well since it ISN'T the clinic, why would you ask? Ask over there!

It is quite tricky not to talk about " cheese" when we know riders take "cheese" To pretend they don't take "cheese" because they never got caught taking " cheese" is crazy. Its bound to come up but its best to talk about it at the Cheese factory i.e. the clinic.

Just to clarify when I mention cheese I mean drugs

Re: Re:

Missed the last stage and the celebration, but yes Alberto did it again! Not sure there are any other sportsman I follow that has given as many thrilling moments as this great man has. Hope there are more to come, maybee soon...

Oh what a shame you missed the celebration, it was pretty awesome! I wish I could share my dvr copy of the stage with you.

Yes Alberto is a very special athlete and seems to be a nice guy also! I won't go on as people already think I'm daft for calling him the best I've seen since Hinault. But then again he is .

Nah, the last few stages drained me, weird attack one day, dropped by everyone another day, for once just let him roll for an easy finish when I went out for some fresh air

Whatever works . Races end by noon here, still plenty of time for fresh air!

Re: Re:

Too much botox.

Yeah, it's awful, isn't it.

Or I'm confusing her with this other podium girl who had huge botox lips, because in these photos she looks hot I admit.

.... botox removes wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles, it doesn't enlarge lips, that would be fillers

Seems you're an expert on this issue Piet

 

[Metabolol]

I doubt Froome, Nibali or Quintana could have done the race better than Alberto did at the Giro given the same circumstances (no support in the mountains, riding vs Astana, two crashes, chasing after a mechanical etc). Froome would have cracked, Quintana would have cracked maybe not as bad as Froome but still wouldn't have been able to control the race the same way as Alberto. NIbali would have been able to hold things together better than Froome or Quintana but he would have still lost more time than Alberto on some stages and he isn't as good at TTing.

Start of open war between our two high priestesses

You forget CarolS.
Atleast 3 high priestesses and CarolS should atleast be a rank higher then the other 2. I know Flo is the biggest zealot though

I know her, its just that I know same people from here and from twitter but I dont know their nicks here, just on twitter,that was the missing part
Its quite funny when you talk with someone on twitter or he/she follows you, but you dont actually dont know that they are active on CNforum as well

I am duly honoured to be mentioned as an equal in such esteemed company as Carols and LaFlo. And yes, I do have (if not yet in my possession) a signed-by-the-team jersey. The man from Saxo Bank I chatted to this morning was very sweet.

Suffice it to say, it quite made my day Almost as much as Alberto winning, but not quite. (Does it make it worse that I suspect I won because Manuele Boaro favourited my competition entry ?! )

I feel no need to be a high priestess or dispute a jersey winner . Congrats to the lucky lady!

But thanks Kwibus!

Totally cool Electress!

Somehow I missed this contest and never entered

 

[Electress]

Well, blow me down. CW actually wrote quite a nice article about Berto. What's happening?

And you're totally right! The best since Hinault, for sure! Better than Indurain, better than Armstrong, and certainly better than Greg Lemond!

Bit emotional there Alberto
LEGEND

Also he is now celebrating with his vecinos in Pinto, have a good rest Alberto...those 5 days

 

[BlurryVII]
