Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Angliru]

Trek would be the better option with the added personal entertainment value of Frank Schleck riding for Contador at the Tour although I think he may wish to retire first. How long is Frank's contract with Trek? With my luck it ends this year and he'll make a quickened bail to another team or the fishing hole with Andy.

Re: Re:

Alberto riding a Merida.....in that god awful kit.....

I find it ugly too. And Merida bike...please not. I still think Trek, Etixx or even Cannondale would be better.

But Lampre is also good, because of LaFlo

Do Lampre have the $$ for Contador??
He'll take 3-4 of his riders and support crew as well......Specialized will be bending over backwards to keep him on their bikes.

Stop about the Lampre thing it will obvious never happen, Saronni only said he had contacted Contador and that he wants him and also added who wouldn’t be interested in such a rider? and thats it just cause Saronni wants him doesnt equal he will end up there you know

Lampre? lol He might aswell go to Lotto-jumbo then.

Contador to Sky would be great.

Please no.

Seconded. (Though AC is probably the only rider I would still actively cheer for whilst riding for Sky)

Won't happen though. We all know how strict they are on the ZtP...

Sky doesn't take previously banned riders for PR purposes

 

[lenric]

Why not? Contador would incorporate the benefits of coffee in the Sky way. Imagine all the marginal gains

Please no.

You have to admit it would be slightly funny/comedic.

Now that would be pretty funny

True true. But I don't like the Trek team at all.

When your leader is mollema you know you got a problem.
Winning the tour then Trump becoming president and to top it off contador riding 2 more years for his own team. Would be a good year

Re:

Cruz is way worse and Clinton is as corrupted as Verbruggen and pat combined. Don't believe the rhetoric of the left.

But on topic Contador prolonging his career will make cycling great again

 

[Brullnux]

Contador on a Bianchi please...

Just hoping that another team that isn't Lotto Jumbo gets Bianchi for 2017

 

[Miburo]

Before all that though he needs to destroy quintana in the tour, god i dislike that rider not because he wins against Contador hell i like froome and he destroyed contador way more than him. He only won twice vs him in a real duel but man the way he rides...

I hope for the future of cycling that Aru gets a big power-up.

Froome has never destroyed a fit and healthy Bertie. In fact when they have been about equal form 2014 it was bertie who destroyed Froome . Get your facts right Jack

I do sometimes feel that way with Quintana but he does attack a lot. I think it's a very Andy shleck feeling, those two could be epic if they attached but they withhold

 

[Scarponi]

It would be weird seeing lampre winning though, other then Scarponi and ullissi they never won a race.
