Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[LaFlorecita]

"I'm very happy that I'm going to ride another year with this team, because it simply feels great to be here. I like the atmosphere and the way we approach the races.
Next year we will have an even stronger team, and this just motivates me more to compete in the biggest races. My main objectives will be pretty much the same as in the last two seasons, to do well in the Cobble Classics and help Alberto to win in the Grand Tours. My dream would be to win the Tour with Alberto and this team," Matteo Tosatto says.

"My first year at Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank has been very exciting. I have some fantastic teammates here, and it is a big motivation for me to ride for Alberto and work with Bjarne, so to be able to continue on this team is really what I wanted. On a personal level, I also feel I have had a pretty good season. I got a lot more experience in my second year at World Tour level, so I'm confident I can improve in the coming season," he [Bruno Pires] says.

It's obvious Saxoboys love Alberto too

"The only real great, I think, is Contador."

Says Moser

You know usually these old riders don't know what they're talking about. At least that's been my impression.

But he's right about Nibali. Lombardia 2011 and Liege 2012. It's always just not good enough. He couldn't rival with Contador and sky. Granted though he's only 27 but if you're really great it comes faster but ok he's still young

And he's dead on with Wiggins of course.

And about Contador, well that's not the smartest thing i've read from the article since it's so obvious, you know

Edit: apparently he's a hypocrite for that comment vs Wiggins, but doesn't the fact that he's right though.

"The only real great, I think, is Contador."

Says Moser

Oh,thats obvious.
Everybody who knows anything about cycling(hi ryo) knows that Alberto is only exceptional rider in this generation(lets say 2006-2016,except classic guys like Boonen,Canc - another story).Even his oponents and english people does

Damn, for a second i was hoping that was Moreno Moser and i thought - now there is someone to cheer for for the next 15 years.

What Vcampbell said, thanks. Saxo will be a good team for him, they should be able to support him well in the American races and it will be good to see him riding in Europe.
