Tomorrow he is the no favouriteMatteo. said:I'm still sorry that He has not won. maybe it was the last chance
Nah. He makes his winning move on cobertoriaNetserk said:Will he be able to better his 2008 time (or even the legendary papy-time)?
Come on LaFlo: be happy, enjoy the rest of this Vuelta. Yes, the end is near, and Alberto may not win it all, but he's leaving on his terms, guns blazing. Not too many champions can say that or have done that.LaFlorecita said:Same. Still really disappointed, I don't think I'll sleep well tonight. Last night it suddenly hit me that there were only 5 stages left in his career and as you can imagine, it didn't make me very happyMatteo. said:I'm still sorry that He has not won. maybe it was the last chance![]()

No, the devil was his team for not chasing the break if he felt good. Even putting 1 rider to help Astana/Bahrain chase would have been enough.gregrowlerson said:The devil finally revealed himself today.
He is not Johan Bruyneel.
He is not Oleg Tinkov.
He is not Dave Brailsford.
He is The Break Of The Day.
The gap will be gigantic: there is indeed no one on the world stage who can "gather" or remotely all the qualities and way to face the careers of Alberto.Matteo. said:I recognize that in the last few days I did not care much about his whitdrawal, thinking it was a natural thing . But this show reminded me that he will leave an unmistakable void.LaFlorecita said:Same. Still really disappointed, I don't think I'll sleep well tonight.

So sad
Exact!telencefalus said:the fact that after ermita santa lucia Contador was keeping saying that he we'll see day by day to climb the overall was a clear sign that he wants to win not only to be on the podium , for him in the podium there is just one place the first , he won't be on the podium if 2nd or 3rd

Do not forget that the 9 times that Alberto took the podium of a Grand Tour always went to the first place.
That is their "natural" place.![]()
