Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

Say it in the thread where it belongs.

Sigh.............

 

[Fidolix]

"Yes, you will." "No, I won't."

You know, five-year-olds actually aren't allowed to post here....

Susan

And as an administrator you should hold your self neutral Susan, I don´t think it´s suited for someone in your position to post derogatory personal comments about LaFlorecita´s age since you actually know she´s not five yo, if you not happy about her posts or comments, I suggest you take it to pm.

A moderator shouldn't moderate? That's a new one to me.

Susan

It´s not the issue if you moderate or not, the issue is how you do it...
But I see from your answer you just like to be condescending, don´t know if it make you feel better or look smarter, but I guess it does.

And then Ryo gets banned for saying girls are dramaqueens. Proof in the 20 posts above me (not talking about you Susan, in case its not clear ).

 

[Fidolix]

LaFlo is a wise woman


Stage 17 of Tour 2009, the best stage brothers have done as a pair.

loool yeah, with Riis.... do I need to say more?

Don't bother. Susan is actually a really pleasant individual if she isn't moderating. I'm sure she isn't as emotionless as she comes across.

Excuse me, I must be mistaken. You're not talking about me now are you?

Andy did his best Tours with Bjarne... Maybe he should go back (and be domestique for Alberto )

Don´t worry, it´s not something I´m gonna spend much time on, and I¨m sure Susan is a nice person to, and nobody is perfect.

Don't worry, it will happen never again. I'm not going to post Alberto anymore because apparently the forum doesn't appreciate Alberto fans, everyone needs to hate him. Luckily there is still some other place where I am allowed to post about Alberto.

Okay I get it Susan. No other thread about Alberto is allowed. Not even posts about Alberto are allowed outside of this thread. And we can have 10000s of threads about Andy, Wiggo, etc?

Nevermind, it doesn't matter. I will be a regular cycling fan from now on so that I don't have to deal with dozens of restrictions.

Of course. For example in the cat thread she seems really nice with her kitties (or kitty).

Geeez, do we really need this? If you have a problem with me being a "drama queen" have a chat with Auntie Susan or something like that.

Anyway. Because one girl seems to be a drama queen doesn't mean girls in general are drama queens. Have a look at Susan.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

BAck on topic, please.

[LaFlorecita]

Lol.

Alberto to win Vuelta 8/11
Alberto to win Tour 2013 5/4
Alberto to win a Tour before 2020 4/7

But these are the odds from before Andy decided to participate in la Vuelta. I cant find anything up to date but my guess is that they're something like 11/5 both? Maybe Alberto 11/7 and Andy 11/5. I don't know anything about betting odds lol. But most of the time they give a good indication of who are the biggest favourites.

If what u wanna say is what I think it is this is not the forum for it.

No not at all Cimber, I don´t imply doping, just implying that Riis or rather the team Saxo bank somehow always manage to get the best out of their riders, more than other teams seems to be able to with the same riders.

And who is on Bjarne's team now...?

 

[Fidolix]

Andy did his best Tours with Bjarne... Maybe he should go back (and be domestique for Alberto )

As with Fabian, who I would really love to see back with Saxo.
Andy back with Riis loool naaaaa they are way beyond return Flo, and to be honest there are far better alternatives out there than Andy, Rolland just to name one.

 

[Fidolix]

And who is on Bjarne's team now...?

Ran Margaliot

Sorry I misunderstood you then. Yep you are quite right. Though there are some exceptions: Bartoli, Tafi, Van Bondt, McGee, Van Goolen, Luttenberger, McCartney for example. He likes to take riders in who are presumed to be over the hill and reboost their carreers (like Julich, O´Grady and Jalabert)

He is also pretty successful with younger riders, but alot of them seem to leave him fast enough (money could be a reason - Porte and Gerdeman fx). So might be budget restrains that made him focus on older (cheap) over-the-hill riders.

Oh yes Fabian and Jakob and Matti back would be awesome.

Bjarne doesn't even want Andy he's got Alberto now who is much better and has a much better attitude and is much more serious. Bjarne really enjoys working with Alberto and I hope they stay together forever. Also I hope Bjarne gets his son Thomas on the team in a few years time so that Alberto can race with him.

And yes you are onto something there, there are much better domestiques because Andy is way too arrogant to help others of course because he thinks he is the best. A bit like LA in 2009 only LA had the results and the history to back up his claims.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Ran Margaliot

Yes! And Troelsie.

 

[roundabout]

Also I hope Bjarne gets his son Thomas on the team in a few years time so that Alberto can race with him.

The world needs another Noe Gianetti, so why not.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Some say they saw Contador training on Fuerte de Rapitán on the weekend. Who knows! But apparently it was a rider who can climb really fast.
