Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[jilbiker]

Contador, you need to save the tdf from skyborgs...

If sky do 1-2 at the tour again this year, I will stop following this race until this team disappear.

From all I have seen I have to sadly say its a 1-2 for sky. AC just doesn't have it, fans like moi thought maybe he was posturing or doing a rope-a-dop boxing style, but as the season progresses its more evident he ain't got it. Besides anyone who knows AC knows he is a cannibal for victory, if he smells it, he will eat it.

I will lightly follow TDF this year...with some little hope of a surprise...not from AC but a Sky implosion...

Sky won't go 1-2, they may win, but no way they take the first 2 podium spots.

For that, the majority of the field will have to crash out.

Hmm LA 01

I was too young to remember that but yea i know the 'look' happened. From the races that i've watched i've never seen someone as dominant as Basso giro '06. Clinic or not that form was so ****ing ridiculous, he would have destroyed armstrong with that form (i think)

 

[ThirdWorld]

One time I was playing PCM.. I changed the data base of the game and put all my riders at 99 in all the skills! It was like sky did in Criterium.. the rides just got away from the peloton like Porte and Froome did.. it is not normal.

There is no hope.............. only bad luck can stop this team... sad but true.

He would not the W/kg Armstrong put out in the mountains where at least as high as Basso's in 06. Also Lance would own him in the TT hard.

Agree though Basso in 06 was amazing

Back on topic: I though Contador looked fairly good in the Dauphine, will def be ready for the tour. Anyone knows if Riis will be in the car?

I think there was news a while ago that Riis wouldn't be around a lot

The highest you can put your skills on in PCM is 85

Hahahaha yep, and still Vroome hasn't proved he deserves the 85. Might change after the Tour.

 

[Miburo]

I remember the good old days when Thomas Dekker or EBH had the potential to get almost on each aspect 85. Now that was awesome

long time ago

the skills stop working at 85, but you can get it up to 99 I think (training camps and so on, atleast it was like that in earlier games)

No it's not.

yea i remember something like that too but not 100% sure, it's been a few years since i've really played it.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

I dont play..i play Cod and because of that darn el pistolero i also play rome total war,,sometimes i go old school and play age of empires.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Absolute monster.

I remember reading the PCM 06 careers and after 3 years Dekker started winning GT's with 10 minutes advantage

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Can i download pcm illegaly and play? ..the old ones pcm 06/07/08

AOE 1 was the real deal
Starcraft is better though

yea, bro.The good old days By the way contra was available on facebook.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I wonder if Contador ever played Contra

Did you ever try to buy EBH directly in '06? If you build him directly for gt's he becomes even more ridiculous.

Btw last year i played age of empires 2 again, i love that game, never gets old

That sucks for Alberto, He could really use Riss his tactics this tdf.

Man, I am from the 3 world! I can do anything.. no rules, no limit here.

I used some tool and changed it directlly in the data of the game.. It was like 'a software doping'.. I could put any value with 2 digits. So, I put 99. At least I used the worst team... It was like what happenned with Froome.. from finishing races with the help of a moto at the giro or giving his bike to another better teammate finish the race to a 'virtual 7-x TDF winner'.

But it was an old version.. 2007... In 2007 that game ruined my life! hehe. Thanks god I'm 'clean' now.

 

[Cimber]

Again trouble on the Shack team with payments. Saw yesterday Canc in conversation with Kreuziger for some time...coincidence?

Oi, Roman! Can I borrow 50 Euro please? Just till next month. What do you mean I already owe you 100?!?

Haha that's epic. I'm still obsessed from time to time. Man I know how to play that game^^

 

[webvan]

It's sad, with every article I read about sky it becomes clearer to me they already know they'll win. Because Froome is just that good.

Actually Bertie was talking the talk in that CN interview the other day, which is unusual for him...I was quite surprised actually. So wishful thinking or does he really think he can keep up with Froome in ITTs ?
