Re: Re:

Bola del Mundo surely is longer than a 15 minute climb, right? remember in 2012, how I was so afraid that he had blown up that last day up la Bola, with both Purito and Valverde riding away from him!

As far as I remember, it was first towards the end of the climb that Valverde distanced Alberto. So I was never really afraid of him losing the Vuelta that day. And Rodriguez was even further away in the overall, so not a threat.

His 2012 ascent time is 14:13, so it's really quite impressive that he's still in such good shape.

Who is it in your new profile pic?

Ok, then I don't feel too bad for not being able to recognise him...

I really dislike him not being the peloton anymore.

We're now in the off-season. As long as we get updated pictures of him we can still discuss his weight.

 

[LaFlorecita]

New career?

I don't think I have ever seen a group of cyclists so collectively confused in my life

Saitama criterium. The event cycling needs, but doesn't deserve

I agree with this. They look like they are having fun, but have no clue what they are doing. It's making me laugh even harder since I did play softball both as a young child (co-ed, city league) and again played it in college in a co ed intramural league. (Of course I was one of 3 gals playing in the league, but had a great time.)

Happy 36th Birthday Great One!! You are missed.....

 

[Koronin]

Happy 36th, Alberto.

Picture made me realize that it's been 10 years since Alberto got Tour in a TV show (see video). As a birthday gift, I believe. How sweet

Alberto doesn't look that far off race shape and Tour has eyes only for cake

That he never got to see Alberto Contador in full flight as it was happening, obviously.
