Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Red Rick]

Re:

I have to say, I quite enjoyed listening to Contador in the last coupled of cobbled races. Apart from his voice obviously, that was still grating, but thanks to Le O for explaining more about it.

Anyway, he seemed to be a lot better paired with Flecha. I think it's because Flecha has completely cornered the market in stating the obvious, so Contador was forced to say something else. And he generally came out with some nice evaluation of the tactics and race situation. And, perhaps less surprisingly, he was extremely good at analysing why riders were crashing in particular situations.

Really cool article though.

But really now, how does the weight look?

Anybody guestimate how much that collection is worth, just for the bikes, not including the historic value?

Too heavy in my opinion.
The bike looks good though.

The bike is ultra light, below the UCI limit despite being aero. to compensate for the extra weight Berto's carrying
But seriously, he looks in pretty good shape, he appears to have lost some weight since the off season

 

[rick james]

He was talking about Bertie being to heavy

 

[rick james]

He gets kudos from me for getting his dog to sit still, anyone who tries to take pictures of the pets they have will know how much it can be a pain to get them to sit still, that’s why my instagram is full of bike pictures and my dog looking away from me

Like the name they've picked for their son. Luca will eventually be a star. Congrats to them.

I thought Danilo Di Luca like when Ricci Ricco called his son Alberto
