[LaFlorecita]

I like reading articles about Alberto from before 2007

On their recent trip to Boston Alberto Contador and Luis León Sánchez, two of their youngest riders (and potential team leaders for the future), were given the opportunity to spend time in MIT’s wind tunnel. Both riders are recognized for their climbing and time trialing prowess and have produced impressive results this year. Contador won the Setmana Catalana and Luis León won the Jacobs Creek Tour Down Under.

Not resisting I'll expose my passion for Contador. He is the most elegant. He has better posture champion. He is b....

 

[ILovecycling]

In Giro presentation Alberto said that to win Triple in past WAS possible but now it is NOT possible.But when he was saying this he wasnt so sure,so for him it IS possible

 

[LaFlorecita]

Berto next to Taylor, he looks so tiny

 

[Netserk]

Please Berto ride the Giro next year!

 

[LaFlorecita]

Please Berto ride the Giro next year!

He won't .

 

[Forunculo]

Please Berto ride the Giro next year!

Impossible, 2010, 2011 and 2012 were lost because clenbuterol saga.

It's obvious Tour should be his goal. But yeah in 2014 or 2015 he should go to Italy

 

[Netserk]

He won't .

But I wish he did.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I say he will do the calender that he was scheduled to do this year if he did'nt get banned. I think he is confirmed for San Luis. If this is the case he will probably do Tirreno-Adriatico.

Yeah, San Luis, Algarve, TA, CyL, Dauphiné, Tour, Vuelta, something like that

Alberto has heard that Sky will support Wiggins' attempt to win Il Giro and is scared

 

[LaFlorecita]

You can add in Pais Vasco also. He also wanted to do that.

Pais Vasco is around the same time as CyL right? I think he might do just Pais Vasco then, now that I think of it, since CyL is now only 3 days long

 

[Parrulo]

You can add in Pais Vasco also. He also wanted to do that.

and probably FW and LBL before a big rest till june.

 

[LaFlorecita]

and probably FW and LBL before a big rest till june.

Why would he do those

 

[Parrulo]

Why would he do those

he has said before he wants to win FW and before clen gate he was going to start to aim at the classics. i see no reason for him to change his career goals, besides he already got a taste of the classics this year and i am pretty sure he liked it.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I believe he will aim at the classics once he can no longer win gts, besides I don't think he can win them anyway

 

[LaFlorecita]

In the same way he did Milan-Torino. F-W is very winnable for him. He should do it. He would still have a big rest until June like Parrulo said.

I am sure he won't make the same mistake as last time where he went too hard early on following Anton and was made to pay for it at the end.

But Milano Torino finished on a proper climb. FW finishes on a wall
