Re: Re:

Will be in for a hard time on Neila, Yates is in monster shape.

You can start a panic then, vuelta is still far off

btw Contador will have to be really bad to get dropped by yates on any mountain

You didn't specify what Yates!

yeah, that was the worst stage ever for contador,besides injuries. quite difficult to be that bad at vuelta

 

[Miburo]

Yea bro, contador did the giro and this was prob his worst MTF ever in a GT. Getting desperate xD

Re: Re:

Of course Contador wasn't the leader except on the PR front.

Obviously, even if he would line up for Tour of Qatar he'd probably be the "leader".

So why team promoted him as a leader at San Sebastian? I don't get it.

Because Contador actually has some PR-value contrary to your man Kreuziger. Virtually no one is interested in Kreuziger. Go figure!

F*** off with your BS. Go figure

the nature of the thread is that most people care about kreuziger only like a military unit in support of AC whilst other big riders are just foes, a hurdle on the way to the desired result - ac winning. no wonder as the topic is a saga about quasi-reality with a virtual contador as a protagonist.

Yep, I can agree with that.

I would add that if you disagree on some part of Contador worshipping or have different opinion, his fans will get personal at you, or say you are trolling, or better do not react (probably they feel you are right). Of course not of all his fans. But fanboyism here is huge as is this thread

He was also beat several times by Adam in Dauphine this year

In that same Tour, 2015, I'd argue Alpe d' Huez was just as bad when Simon beat him like Adam on PSM:

Its not unrealistic he will get his ass handed to him after his comments pre-race at all considering the shape Simon Yates is in after his ban.

Somehow half of post have disappeared and I can see only see "display this post" posts. That cannot be biased :-/
But...who cares

Re:

Trofimov would be good if he reaches a decent shape

do you believe he can? I don't. This season he looks like he has born at least 10 children in winter. Totally tired.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I must admit I'm mildly excited

2/7 pretty poor effort actually. If you're gonna hype you have to do better than that.

Not really. i think the team will go on Kiserlovski, sure not a great climber but in good form he can climb well and he's a solid rider

According to Basso , Alberto looks good today in the TTT. Saturday we'll know

I saw their ride, he did look pretty good

 

[Red Rick]

Wait, Hernandez wasn't dropped in the TTT? Game over Alberto, Hernandez for Vuelta glory

Re:

He never took a turn, just hung on for dear life like Andy, throughout LOL!

 

[Jakub]

Re: Re:

LOL, that was my first thought when I saw the results. He has made Basso's Giro15/Tour15 TTT

He never took a turn, just hung on for dear life like Andy, throughout LOL!

Oh no, I *** it up!

 

[TuCzech]

According to czech press, Kreuziger won´t ride La Vuelta.

 

[Carols]

Testing the legs right now in Burgos!

 

[Gigs_98]

He is in an attack . He will definitely be ready for the vuelta

 

[the-big-bad-wolf]

he's in a first group with Cataldo, Brambilla, Fernandez

 

[LaFlorecita]

Haha, explodes the race on a 3rd category climb 20k from the finish. Vamos!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Looking good!

 

[Red Rick]

And even when Sky is not riding for GC, they end up chasing Contador.
