Nice! I think that's a good omen!

It's probably been posted before, but in case someone hasn't seen it, this is the Bertie interview that took me by surprise : "Contador sees Froome as his equal rival for Tour de France" http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/contador-sees-froome-as-his-equal-rival-for-tour-de-france

Dunno...come to think of it he may have a point!

If I had handled all bashing directed at Schleck, Wiggins and Froome so seriously as you do that with Contador, I would have got cranky a long ago, because there's enourmous mass of it. However, I'm peppy, opened for communication and I don't criticize anyone. Nonetheless, here comes SiriusCat and says 'I bashed fairly, you don't!'. It is an unhealthy reaction. It's not about all AC fans surely. For instance, I really enjoy Jelantik's posts because the guy reasons very sensibly.

We are all different on the forum. You are not like me. Thanks God, I'm not like you. I just offer not to appel one to another to avoid conflict situations. That's it.

Jeez, I'm so offended by that. Ive been trying for years to clone myself and inflict those clones on the world of online cyclobabble!!

Seriously think you've lost the plot, what the chuff has "bashing fairly" got to do with it?? Berto gets his "fair" share over the steak thing but I'm certain if he passed wind in the wrong direction you'd have a go at him for that. Your concept of logical reason is obviously one the bulk of the forum fails to understand not just me, if they did why do you have so many people on your back the whole time, incase you didn't notice it's not just me!! Is Jelantik your latest sockpuppet???

If you seriously want to debate cycling then do so in a way that people can logically understand!

I have my speakers working and do you still want to know what maradona said.

 

[M Sport]

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...

No way little ritchie gets past Contador unless misfortune strikes but sadly its a race for froome. Best he can hope for is bottom step of podium.

Like you, or similar to you I'm only reading about this tour, no live broadcasts for me.

Cool but I wasn't sure about the size because they're male sizes

[xrayvision]

Cool but I wasn't sure about the size because they're male sizes

They are very small, I normally use L and asked for XL which they send, but a XXL wouldnt have been to big either.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Size does matter.

 

[Cimber]

Shack lack of payment - Canc talking to Roman - forum poster linking that to a possible Saxo transfer - another forum poster making a joke about it -a third poster completely misses that.

Yea I know, but since male sizes are usually larger than female sizes, I didn't know what to do. I had a look at a size chart and found out my chest size would relate to size M so I asked for a L

During the golden years Alberto could hit that "magical" number of 7 watts per kilo, Nibali won the Giro with 5.8 watts per kilo. There is an abyss between the two numbers. Alberto is under heat, thus he can't return to that "magical" level. It's therefore a mystery how Sky is able to reach that these days.

Hitch maybe you can enter in this competition

He has? didn't know that he reached those levels

No that was the Verbier math screw-up

Must have been plateau de beille i guess, i never thought it was that high though. Don't think verbier was that high, you had to lay back then already.

Anyway saxo their team will be real insane.

AC, Rogers, Kreuziger, CAS, Roche, Hernandez, Paulinho (i'm pretty sure these guys will ride it). That's a pretty good climbing team if in shape

I wouldn't underestimate Paulinho, if he's 100% he can be really useful. Hernandeze too but he can have a sucky day sometimes but that's ok with a pretty consistent roche and rogers. And Kreuziger? well i would make sure he doesn't lose too much time in the first week, might be helpful. Although that prob won't really work since we all know it's 100% AC but it can never harm.

Kreuziger is the kinda guy unlike rogers that you can really use for a crazy attack. This guy has it in him, not per se for him to go solo but like a set-up but the thing not really many tour stages that fit for it

Early attack on the alpe and then AC comes to him in the sarrene climb of 3km and decent like a madman And rest assure that gap stage will be used
