Very nice picture.

 

[Angliru]

It's a powerful shot. I'm surprised that Specialized hasn't used it in an ad.

To me it looks edited to the point that Contador looks like a video game character.

But to each his own.

This is the original shot:

It's just been cropped and a filter was added.

Do you use all your time moderating and not watching cycling? This ITT was an instant classic!

Yes & perhaps Alberto's best performance this year.

I saw the stage, but I'm not sure why I would be expected to remember a snapshot in time that has no discernible landmarks other than a couple hills.

It was a simple question, that had been answered already before you took the little shot at me was not at all welcome or warranted.

I like it, it looks gritty, to be honest there's a little bit of HDR editing and they've upped the contrast.

At least he looks like a human being there and not a PCM cover picture

It probably was, but the Mortirolo still stands out to me, cause.. Mortirolo.

why they haven't set him up with a fan is beyond me....

Flo obviously knows all this tries out all filters on all pictures she finds

Yeah that seems odd, maybe it's outside the frame.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Vai vai Albertino!!

 

[Red Rick]

Looks chubby, but I don't know how chubby he should be in early december

 

[LaFlorecita]

In 2014 Berto wasn't super duper skinny, only at the Tour (&Vuelta) he looked really lean

Remember this is what Berto looked like in early 2014

And for those who cannot tell because of the kit ( ) here is a video without kit

His arms look a bit chubbier this year though, but I guess it's still 2 months before he starts racing.

 

[Jspear]

That kit could quickly give me a headache.

...man, I wish I was that "chubby."....Even for now he looks okay to me.

Alberto said in a radio interview that he is 65kg right now, 3kg above his ideal race weight.
