Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

Tuttobici isn't even naming a source for that. Brings them traffic on their page.

Soooo... Fake news confirmed?

 

[perico]

Definitely fake news. They are meeting this weekend. It sounds like Trek may want him at the Tour, while Alberto wants to ride the Giro (at least that is how I interpreted it- though I could be off).

Flo, you'll be happy when you see his latest photo on instagram

 

[Carols]

Okay no contract yet. Trek is ready, Alberto needed time....

Yes nice pic.

FYI, you don't have to be part of Instagram. Celebrities usually keep their Instagram's open. You can just google Alberto Contador instagram and see his pictures.

No more Tour, let him ride whatever he wants ffs. I'd like to see a face-off in the Giro between Bardet and Contador. Maybe even Landa.

It would be a definitive defeat. No way he can not then compete at that level, but of course fighting for stages it's a realistic goal and officially never won stages at giro

But that's one of the likeliest scenarios if he rides the Giro in 2018.
Anyway, I agree with you, but it will depend on the amount of ITT kms.

Wikileaks releases celebrity athlete DMs


@LaFlo to @AlbertoContador: More shirtless pictures please. It's been a while.

@AlbertoContador to @LaFlo: No. The people on that forum will just obsess about my weight all day.

@LaFlo to @AlbertoContador: You look great! You just finished the Tour! You'll be very skinny right now. Show us some skin, pretty please?????

@AlbertoContador to @LaFlo: OK, you win.

 

[Valv.Piti]

That sounds pretty reasonable actually.

Pretty curious to read his participation of la Vuelta isn't decided yet how's he gonna prepare this properly seems rather amateurish.

It's the 4th day after the Tour. I'm pretty sure that by resting he's not deviating all that much from any ieal schedule

I bet he was wishing he was riding criteriums instead of relaxing. It ain't gonna make any different at the Vuelta. (if he goes)

??? Firstly he hasn't quit as far as anyone is aware, secondly why would wanting to relax with the things that matter to you make you pathetic?
At the end of the day its bike riding, its not really that important in the great scheme of things. He has earned the right to go home and put his feet up and gorge on pizza and beer until he is as fat as Lemond if thats what he wants, its got nothing to do with you.

LOL. Alberto is nothing like Greg. I am looking forward to seeing Alberto ride next year, a real competitor
. Completely wrong that he was sanctioned.

What a horribly sad and pathetic life one must lead to post such mean spirited crap.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Come on Alberto! You can win 2 more VaE and another Giro.

 

[Pennino]

That would be very nice. To shake up that Conta vs Froomey debate a little bit
