Re:
Actually i didn't imagine him going around and taking charge in the bus, telling his teammates what they did good or bad the day before. All i have heard from people who have ridden with him, was that he was always thankful for their work. But it's awesome that he putting that sort of good pressure on the team! Former danish cyclist Rolf Sorensen, was watching the prolog live in Les Gets, and he said that he had never seen Alberto with the focus he has now. He said he looked like a man with killer instinct, fighting for what might be one of his last chances to win the Tour.
LaFlorecita said:Baden Cooke put together his dream team for CyclingNews a day or two ago, this is what he said about Alberto:
Alberto Contador was someone who really impressed me immensely. In team meetings for example, he would really take charge and go around the room, pointing out to each rider what he was expecting of him, what they did or didn't do right the day before. He really put a lot of pressure on his teammates, but in a good way. He was probably the best leader I've ridden for in the way he conducted himself. He was just a ferocious competitor, never say die and just hard. Despite all his talent, he's just hard.
I think he can just go to the next level, he's extremely impressive.
It certainly makes you go deeper when he's sitting on your wheel and you're drilling it for him. It makes you go that little bit further, that little bit deeper because it's probably going to blow everyone's doors off and put him in a better spot. It's really motivating.
