Re: Re:

If that's actually him he's probably just looking for some limelight that he's been lacking.

It's him.

He's a *** idiot.
It's fun to see the Spanish spamming his social media though

Re:

That's genuinely sad. I've dislike for someone certain riders - I could understand a little negativity, but this level hatred is weird.

 

[rhubroma]

That's comical a drunk, prepotent Russian insulting the Spanish.

Contador must now focus in a stage win.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Looks like the best we can hope for is a stage win - yet again! At least he won't finish 2nd on GC, lol.

 

[Matteo.]

As i said some days ago, it is not matter of GC.
He needs Lo Port win with good advantage to clear doubts about TdF

Probably this, but even that I don't think is a tremendous indicator either way this early in the season. My main hope is that he can just stay on his bike. :razz:

Dauphine will be crucial in my opinion.

I'm a bit tired of having him always start at the back foot. He's not young anymore, so he needs to have everything at least going his way. If he starts at the back foot again in TDF, well forget about winning it, maybe we'll see him doing something crazy for the show. But for once, let's win it...

I'm not so sure about that.

Well if he can't join a top team, then he's always gonna start off on the back foot! It looks like this is what its gonna look like for the foreseeable future. Unless every race he starts is Pais Vasco uphill ITT. :razz:

Please no I'm not sure I'd survive another 2nd place

Fans of Berto's rivals are jealous because Berto even as a grandpa is still the best in MTTs! SAD!

I'm just messing about but mocking Berto for winning MTTs seems .. odd

You got it!

Trump reminds me of a loud Russian ex-team owner. Sad!

It was actually quite the opposite of mocking. Seems like I can't say anything in here without you are taking it way too personal.

"He can't win anything except Pais Vasco style MTTs" shows a distinct lack of respect and underrates the effort required to win a MTT. Wasn't your post though.

 

[Valv.Piti]

What the.. okay lets go with that.

 

[Irondan]

Oleg talking more smack about Alberto...

They obviously had a big falling out, this is getting ridiculous...

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

It's so over the top I'd speculate it's some misguided reverse psychology motivational tactic if Oleg hadn't divested and Contador switched teams. Truly bizarre. The world has gone mad.

 

[Ricco']

We should pay attention in Le Tour, I fear that we might see Oleg running alongside Alberto on the mountains, trying to push him down his bike.
