Little girl: "get the F*** out of my face!"

Clearly she has yet to learn what a honor it is to have Alberto Contador be the one coming up to you!

Nico Roche interview

He will help Alberto win the Tour

http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/1...-One-step-back-to-take-two-steps-forward.aspx

VN: Obviously Alberto Contador is the biggest name on the team. Have you spoken to him much?

NR: Yes…the other day we spent the whole day together. There were four of us – myself, Contador, Kreuziger and Chris Sorensen. The four of us were together from eight in the morning until seven that night. We had a good day and were really able to talk.

I was quite surprised because when we race, Contador is not one of those guys who says much. I always said he was very discrete, saying thank you when you let him by and everything, but otherwise being pretty quiet. But in the car he was really, really talkative. He was talking about race situations, and other things. The four of us had a nice chat.

Then yesterday Roman, myself and him went to the children’s hospital in Las Palmas to visit the kids who are being treated for cancer. That was a tough moment – I haven’t been in one of those hospitals since my little brother Florian was ill.

It was nice, though, in that the families really appreciated it. Myself and Roman have very poor Spanish – we are working on it and we were able to communicate with the families and with the kids who weren’t shy enough to talk, but Alberto spoke for five to ten minutes with each of the kids. They were all over the moon.

That sounds like my Berto

In an interview with French tv Alberto said that he won't participate in the Tour if Saxo only get the green light two months before the start (I think that is about the wild cards)

It'd be great to see Contador in the Giro since the best riders will be there anyway.

I think that is about the wild cards, too.

Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank n'est pas encore certain de figurer en World Tour, ce qui ne garantit pas la présence de Contador sur le Tour 2013. Cette situation agace le Madrilène qui en a profité pour mettre en garde les organisateurs. "J'aimerais faire le Tour évidemment, je l'ai déjà raté cette année. Mais si je suis prévenu deux mois avant, je n'irai pas. Il me faut suffisamment de temps pour me préparer, le cas échéant, je ne serai pas de la partie".

That's what we call 'putting people on some pressure'

Yeah,exactly ,screw up aso and uci

I thought that wildcards are given in March(after Nice or something like that)

I thought so too that's why I wasn't sure if it was about the wildcards.

Maybe Alberto doesnt know it ,so he says 2 months instead of 3 and half

problem is that I highly doubt Saxo would get a wild card for the Giro in January/February.
