He'll ride more Italian races so I guess he'll ride MSR TA and maybe Lombardia

Edit: and I believe he should ride la Vuelta

M-T

GdE

Remove the races with Italic, and he would do 6 races in Italy

Vuelta
Worlds ITT and RR
M-T
GdL
GdE

Remove the underlined races and he will have 6 races in Italy on the program (7 if you count ITT and RR as 2)

EDIT: It would give a total of 81 race days...

 

[the asian]

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

FW suits him well. He even has a podium finish.

His Most likely schedule would be San Luis, Algarve, TA, Paris Vasco , CyL, FW, LBL, Dauphine.

( I see a more complete schedule from Nesterk)

Yikes... Hesjedal is wearing a sparkling shirt

I was thinking, what kind of pattern is that on his shirt But maybe it is just sparkles?

Yes, they were cooking together

That's more or less what I think, but I'm not so sure about the worlds, but then again he did say he'd ride more Italian races...

By the way is 81 a lot?

 

[ILovecycling]

Yes, they were cooking together

I think that the best cook is Nibali then Alberto with italian and spanish cuisine... Hesjedal and Cav - their nations arent the best in terms of cooking *throwing up*

 

[Netserk]

Cyclist + cooking = Sidi flashback
*puke*

EDIT: LaFlo 81 is a lot. Piti had 80 this year. In 2009 Bert had 54.

Alberto Contador ‏@albertocontador
"@stefanorizzato: Che eleganza lo chef @albertocontador #giro2013 http://bit.ly/QD8j0O"// Lo mio es la bici

I wonder if he can cook as good as he can ride his bike
I sure hope so, for the sake of Macarena

Videos for the summer here (my vacation) and winter in Europe, the Spanish resvista. <http://www.revistadesdelacuneta.com/tengopagina.php?page=archivo0297> title in Spanish "Contador y su grandeza en la derrota".

He is looking for the Giro:

“It’s a Giro that could suit me quite well, but I don’t know my schedule yet. I’ll wait and see what the presentations of the other grand tours bring, and then make a decision on what I ride next year based on that.”

Earlier in the afternoon, however, Contador confirmed that his one-time ambition of winning all three grand tours in a single season has been put on hold for now. “I think it would be very difficult. It’s hard to balance the three weeks of racing with four weeks off between the Giro, Tour and Vuelta,” he said. “In the past, I thought about that possibility, but right now, I’m not.”

Still, he just had one really bad day in the Tour 2011 after doing the double, while losing most of the times due to earlier crashes. And then of course we had that 90 kilometer attack. I think he will try the double again and he looks eager to return to the Giro. Perhaps next year?

[the asian]

What is Contador trying to do next year?

Asking for Basso and Rujano.

He may have ambitions of doing the Tour-Giro double or else, he wants to crush everybody at the Tour by 10Min+ and make Froome cry and quit.

 

[Angliru]

Alberto in a suit, I love it

He looks quite stylish as does Nibali.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Stay away from the giro, it is Astan....errr Nibalis turn to win it next year

Yeah I have the same feeling.What is this all about?
Basso,Rujano,Kreuziger,Roche,Zaugg,Majka,Hernandez,Sorensen are very good climbers.Its really weird,maybe it is Giro-Tour double,so half of these climbers should do giro with Alberto and the other half should do Tour with Alberto too

Or maybe they will all do the Tour and dominate team Sky style
