This. Andy didn't have any bad luck during that Tour. It was the opposite.

Very lucky that Fabian neutralized the Spa stage.

Very lucky in the cobbles stage.

Poor shifting skills in the Bales stage.

...

Andy was lucky to end up so close to Contador. Yet he still lost.
And even more than all this, Andy became the winner thanks to Contador's misfortune.
What a lucky brat he is.

In hindsight it was not that sure a thing.

Yes it was:rolleyes:

Or do you think there was any chance that Andy would beat Alberto in an ITT:rolleyes:

Ever heard of a bad day? :rolleyes: Legs not rolling no matter how fresh you feel. To set up a common parameter for 2 athletes after 3 weeks of battle and then compare their results just shows a huge amount of ignorance to the sport.

You know air, just course you dont like the guy, doesnt change the dynamic of the sport try stay objective, otherwise you continue to embarrass your self.

As far as I can understand objectivity is ability to look into the things in a many-sided complex way. Iow, we should look into account all one's perfomances rather than best of them. If we base on one's 1-2-3 best racing days like equilibrium, we collide with million of dogmas like 'Rider A could finish better than rider B only 'cuz rider B was much weaker than in his prime' which derails any robust discussion.

I am back now. Very nice picture. But I am confused :confused: Alberto moved to Lugano? Together with Jesus? Wut?
Maybe he and Jesus have more than just a professional relationship :p

Ok I just checked the address posted earlier in this thread and apparently it's a hotel:confused:so either this is just temporarily or the address is wrong because surely he has enough money to buy a house.

Maybe he's writing it off as a business expense.

One thing I do admire about Contador is he look's after his doms, J.Hernandez probably would not be WT without Contador would he?, what happened with D.Navaro I always though he was his main dom, did they have a break down in relathionship or something.

Dani thinks he's able to ride for his own chance so he moved to cofidis.

And a team leader taking care of his main dom is not something new in cycling.

In my view such a relative financial carelessness plays an evil joke with Hernandez racing qualities. In the past he was stronger.

Hernandez was only good in Oman. He sucked in the other races
