A fan of Contador here.A fan of the way he rides.He is looking very good this season.He is my favourite for the win in Tour.
Luis Leon in top shape could make it really hard for Alberto in close-to-top shape. It's not super mountainous but rather hilly.Miburo said:Could? On that parcours he would crush any spanish rider if he's in top shape which he will be since it's 1 week before the tour
Carols said:Berto saying he feels as good as 2014. There may be a bit of bluster to shake the others up but his record is good this season.
Here’s how Contador’s 2014 and 2016 spring seasons compare:
2014
— Volta ao Algarve: Stage win and second overall, 19 seconds behind winner Michal Kwiatkowski
— Tirreno-Adriatico: Two stage wins and first overall, 2:05 ahead of Nairo Quintana
— Volta a Catalunya: Second overall at 4 seconds behind Joaquim Rodríguez
— Vuelta al País Vasco: Stage win and first overall, 49 seconds ahead of Kwiatkowski
2014 total: 25 race days, six victories
2016
— Volta ao Algarve: Stage win and third overall, 26 seconds behind winner Geraint Thomas
— Paris-Nice, second overall, 4 seconds behind winner Thomas
— Volta a Catalunya: Second overall, 7 seconds behind winner Nairo Quintana
— Vuelta al País Vasco: Stage win and 12-second victory over Sergio Henao
2016 total: 25 race days, three victories

He will, barring any injuries there simply isnt anyone who can beat him if hes in top conditions. People can come here with all their ideas and theories all they want but from a logical standpoint its very simple, if Contador is in 100% conditions and doesnt crash theres simply noone who can beat him STILL in todays cycling in a 3 week GT.
Cry, argue all you want but show me a single fact which shows otherwice then ill bite but since there aint none and I dont care of half the opinons of the lunatics on here ill just let the stats and facts speaks for themself since afterall its more evidence than some of your guys ideas no offence!
That isn't normally an issue in a TT thoughValv.Piti said:Movistar will also have a very strong team, they can probably toy with Alberto since he doesn't really have a team

lurked for a long time and finally decided to join , another Alberto fan boy however![]()
I'd take an in shape Contador over Froome in this years Tour in a straight up battle between the two however he'll be in tough with Sky's super dom's chasing down multiple attacks per stage like they did last year .
for racing sake i'm on the anyone but Sky camp for this years tour , can't stand there type of racing

**** dude, I think you took it too serious when your momma told you "if you reaaaaaallyyyyy believe in something with all of your heart and mind, it becomes the world truth". Too bad it doesn't work that way.
But opinions are like asses: every body has one![]()

Anyone who rides a bike at a certain level and trains in an area where pro cyclists live join them for a light ride every now and then. I myself have occasionally trained with a handful of pro riders with quite a decent palmares (a San Sebastián winner, a TDF stage winner...), and I'm hardly Eddy Merckx 2.0.blackmamba said:I have probably rode more bike than you have ever done in your life, fun fact I even join Kristoff when hes home occasionally on a light ride when it fits and did a ride with him 2 weeks before he won flandern last year, sorry if you didnt like that either.

Long story short, it's nothing special to boast about.
