Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Simurgh]

I'M IN EUPHORIA! What a glorious victory! The last roar of the Lion King! And what a roar that was! You are truly a hero and a source of inspiration Alberto. My hero!

I am going to buy a proper road bike with the few bucks I have and start riding!

Gracias Alberto.

Yep. Raced this last race the way I wish all races were run. Just fantastic.

You missed the stages of yesterday and the day before

Speachless... cycling died today. Today, the great one retires and the most disgusting team achieves his best result on a gt season. Sky is better than ever...

 

[GraftPunk]

I'm so happy for him, seeing the feelings from the raoadside fans, announcers, and more importantly his fellow riders was amazing!

Ah, how did I forget yesterday?
He attacked on Carmona and Hoz as well but they weren't that good.

 

[Climbing]

Very nice end to a fantastic career, will be missed terribly.
What a champion.

Still on Cloud 9 and teary eyed. Yesterday I turned 67 years old, Thank You Alberto for a Grand Present .

Happy Birthday back! Alberto gave me a belated present and you get a pre-birthday present! Love the man

 

[No_Balls]

Might been one of the most beautiful things i've seen in this sport. Just speechless.

What a man.

Happy birthday, both of you! Mine was too early four days ago. A bittersweet September for Alberto's fans I guess

LOL I'm older than dirt and I've seen all the legends ride live from Anquetil to Contador. I feel very privileged .

Thanks La Flo and Thanks Alberto!!!!

I have Said it before, but it's truer than ever: Contador is the greatest racer of this era. In fifty years, he'll be mentioned alongside Coppi, Merckx, Hinault and Pantani.

 

[Pennino]

Incredibly happy.
For Alberto, for the great way he says goodbye and for all of his great fans out here & wherever in the world.

The Great One.
ÍDOLO ÉTERNO.

Happy Birthday to you also!

Right now it's sweet, I worry about the bitter part later

Indeed and that is exactly where he belongs, one of the all time Greats, a true Legend!

Based on his Vuelta performance, his GT credentials are still good, esp for the Giro and the Vuelta, he might not have what it takes to win the TDF right now, but this seems like he is being forced into an undeserved and early retirement when he still has plenty to offer. But for the Andorra day when he was sick, it would have been a 3 way battle between him, Nibali and Froome for the GC.
