Alberto 15 - Ivan 27

Not surprising if you see that only 10 of the 42 results are from 2007 or later

 

[LaFlorecita]

But these two

8/04/2005 Vuelta al Pais Vasco 3. 68.
26/03/2004 Setmana Catalana 5. 11.

If Saxo-Tinkoff takes the last WorldTour spot the racing schedule of Alberto Contador could be something like this:
Tour de San Luis-Tirreno Adriatico-Amstel,Fleche-Tour de Suisse-TDF-Vuelta-Milano Torino-Giro di Lombardia?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Alberto is in Moscow

Cuadrifoglio d'Oro with 7 GT wins on it

I think

San Luis
Maybe Algarve?
T-A
Pais Vasco?
Maybe FW
Dauphiné
TdF
(Vuelta
Worlds
Milano Torino
Lombardia)

But he declared somewhere this year that he wanted to do the Tour de Suisse.Maybe he will clash with Wiggins and Porte on the Alto de Malhao next year in February.

WHy would Contador go for Lombardia? He was in a far better position for it this year and didnt really push it.

Personally I dont think he will do anything after the Tour. Tour Vuelta is possible but with Contador I think finishing the season in July is more likely

Also why would he do Amstel and not Liege?

That would be such a shame

Perhaps Contador would skip the Ardennes classics next year.

Doing Amstel is insane. Small roads, crazy stuff. Not many chances of winning either way.

San luis/Algerve/TA/Pais Vasco/FW/Dauphine/Tour and then I don't know...

I guess if feels good enough maybe vuelta but based on his history '07,'09,'10,'11 He always stops after riding the tour

Yea and if he wants to try something more next year (the giro/tour double or something) he can't use his autumn on racing classics, but to prepare and rest

He is not Purito the mountain sprinter or Gilbert a hilly classic specialist.He is the greatest stage racer now since his resurgence in 2007 Tour.

[sacrifice&hardwork]

Photo war? Huh, well why don't 'we' just let him enjoy his free time?

Alberto Contador:
In Moscow with Bjarne Riis, enjoying this incredible city now that I have some time-off

 

[calinmarian]

I surrender

Next year in July he will be just like this with his third Tour win.I can't wait to see Froomy defeated and demoralised.

Naaah Ivan was never serious about racing after 2006 except for 1 and half weeks in may of 2010

"Alberto Contador is a superstar, the best racer in the world, and I can't even remember the names of whoever Argos-Shimano have in their squad," Tinkov said in a press conference with the Spaniard in Moscow on Monday, according to RIA Novosti.
