Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Angliru]

Yeh but there is no rider called Dekker Tifosi is there?
Rather TD = Thomas Decker

The guy is a huge fan of Thomas Dekker. "Tifosi" is I believe Italian for "passionate fan(s)".

But then their 2 top riders, Contador and Valverde, both wouldn't be able to get any points, don't know if they would want to take the risk.

They would be just fine.

They have enough talent that they could skate by on the results of the rest of their roster.

My advice to AC is to forget Saxo. I think he has been ill-treated there despite what he thinks. AC is too nice a guy to admit somethings. I did say that he should have left Astana in 2009 after Bruyneel and company left. I remember last TDF, I felt he was abandoned by his team. I still remember when he fell off the bike, his teammates rode past him! They did not come back when they heard he had an issue, I was baffled! This is your team leader! Chris AnkerS was shouting at him one time, RickyP of course had his own agenda. the greatness of this guy AC is that I can hardly recall a time he had a team wholly committed to him and him alone. The 2011 Giro he won on him on and the 2009 and 2010 TDF he won inspite of him team, 2010 Vino had his own agenda and off course we all know about 2009.

AC, this is business, forget sentiment, forget Saxo. I doubt that all the team is keen on you. Plus look at the team this year. Its a B class team! Why would you go there?? If he goes back to Saxo I will be disappointed.

I could agree wit all but CAS shouting at him, when was that? And Bjarne is all to Alberto, perhaps he lacks the budget but not his will


Anyway we are building a castle from a rumour about Santander. And like some said Bjarne should solve the potential clash between "dane team" and "Contador team"

Alberto's brother has denied everything about the new Banco Santander team.

Take it to the Clinic.

So we spend many hours about a false rumour

If he has the energy and time to deny it then it probably is true. Or close to true.

Excatly. When people deny stuff. Almost always it's the other way and something is happening It doesnt mean this will happen, but there is something in air.

Can't we discuss this in the appropriate thread? (Where will Alberto sign next) So that this thread can die. There is never anything about Alberto to discuss anyway. Never something controversial so we really don't need a thread like this.

this is the appropriate place as where he will ride next year his contador related.

There are many riders who this applies to, but not Alberto.
In fact he probably is the most controversial rider there is.

Isn't this meant to be haters vs lovers?

He doesn't do or say controversial things that need to be discussed.

 

[Havetts]

Ofcourse not.. its a "discussion" thread, so everything regarding Contador both positive and negative so there arent two threads that have the same subject..

 

[LaFlorecita]

Now there are three threads with the same subject This one was different because only useless non-news was posted in it.

 

[Publicus]

with all due respect, that makes zero sense. if someone asks him about the situation and he says it's false, then that means it is true? what if he says that it's true, does that mean it is false? you see where this leads...

It seems to me if they were putting a lot of energy into the denial then you would be on to something, but all indications it was a simple denial and I wouldn't read any more into it. But obviously your mileage/kilometers may vary.

 

[The Hitch]

One could argue that very little of the negative will make it here.

I mean la flos true soul nemesis will not be making an appearance.

I have never understood that signature... and I still dont.

There is an annual poll about who the best mountain bike riders in the world were, and Ruben Lampe - Dekker Tifosi, was in the top 20 on 2 occasions.

Due to great work from the PPDB crowd Or was it even back in the Cyanide days, Ruben?

lol, that would be funny.

 

[Ripper]

No. This is not fair. Now everyone can post their Alberto hate in this thread.

Susan told me I could start my own I Love Alberto thread. So that I would post my Alberto nonsense or silliness in it. Now I will continue to spread it across the forum until the thread title will be back to normal. I do not like this at all. Actually I'm extremely angry and I'm almost never angry. Finally there was one thread with only Alberto love without Alberto hate and now you ruined it.

Bwa ha ha ha!
