Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[roundabout]

It's unfair to lump Navarro with the other 2. He can at least make some results unlike them.

 

[patterson_hood]

I miss Berto, but I'm looking forward to an open TDF. Conflicting...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Navarro did a tremendous job for Alberto in the 2010 Tour and Jesus worked really hard for Alberto in last year's Giro.

Navarro is very strong when he is in top shape. Jesus is also a good domestique, not quite good enough to win anything by himself, but absolutely amongst the 35-40 best climbers in every gt he enters.
Noval is just Noval

Alberto caught with 22 tb of illegal porn

Alberto Contador, A suspended cyclist from spain was caught last night after a 13 months long police operation. It is rumored that he was not alone and that at least 5 other people helped him committing this crime.

When police entered his apartment, Alberto was trying to sell his entire collection to a Japanese businessman.

At his apartment police found more than 22 TB of pornography. It is believed that Alberto Contador is part of worldwide child pornography network called HCG or ‘’Happy Children Garden’’.

Neighbors said that Alberto was a modest and nice neighbor but sometimes during the night, he walked alone through the neighborhood in a long leather coat.

According to police investigations, Alberto Contador is facing a long sentence in a range from 10 to 30 years.

I already knew it wasn't true because zam linked similar fake articles on the other forum and this one he used too only with a different name.

I just read the CN article about the Contador-Schleck exchange.........

WTF???


Never thought I would ever say this but I'm saying it: IF Contador goes back to the Hog-I won't be a fan of him anymore

Yea, that would be total BS. Prefer if they'd all go to different teams, any team but their old DS's!

I seriously doubt Contador goes to SaxoBank. There is no way he will take the risk of being on a non-Pro Tour team.

His options are

1. RSNT - knows Bruyneel, familiar environment, open to US market
2. OPQS - Solid manager in Lefevre but more Belgium and classics-centered
3. Movistar - Spanish team, solid support, also has Valverde there (positives and negatives).

How about Garmin? IIRC, Vaughters courted him once before, they have both the money and the points plus a strong team to support him, they lack a real GC rider (Hesjedal yes but I don't see him evolving into a true Tour contender), and it's also open to the US market.

I don't see Garmin looking at Contador, given Vaughters' penchant for fostering the image of cycling purity on his team.

But it could happen.

Wherever he goes, Alberto will be a force again. I cannot wait to see him return to racing.

I feel pretty sure Saxo will stay pro-tour.

Probably true, although the more I think about it, the more Garmin would seem the perfect fit for Alberto.

Although I may be a bit more cynical than you - I think if Vaughters had the chance, he'd take on Contador using the Millar-style justification that he's paid his dues and is reformed so he's ok now.

Vaughters will never take him due to doping image and anyways Garmin dont have the budget for such a signing.

Can you remind which teams Millar and Dekkar ride?

Garmin accepted Millar and Dekker so why not Contador?

There is a difference from AC to people who have admitted it and lead the fight against it.

That would however mean that Alberto has to admit.

 

[Publicus]

Well given the CAS decision, AC's case is rather unique such that I don't think he has to "admit it", but has the freedom to fight against it. Don't want this to turn into a rehash of his case, whether you or anyone believes it, etc., just stating that the nature of the CAS decision makes it rather easy for him to transition to a team like Garmin, which I do not think will happen.

 

[Froome19]

Millar and Dekker have admitted they did it and expressed guilt.
Contador on the other hand has denied he did it.
