Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Cimber]

Fixed for you haha

In 2011 He never played the injury card even when his knee was totally messed up... He is not going to do it now... even an injured Contador will try to make the race hard.. He is that kind of guy He never gives up...

He sorry typo

Watching the crash if AC is the Saxo rider who I think he is he has nothing

"He" was slowing down and "jump/fall" into another rider. Playing an injury is always a nice card.


I don't "think" he is the rider some you said

That is Bennati. Matches with some of the footage where you can see #92 right next to the big crash.

If you look at the third screenshot in my second post, you can see it matches with a picture I posted earlier. Alberto on the ground, cofidis and sky rider in front of him and sky rider still on the bike walking around him. In the picture it's clear that it's Alberto (#91)

I dont understand your post... in your sign you are supporting Contador but in your post you are saying that he is not the rider that most of us think he is in a bad way... dont know is so confusing...

He means that he thinks its a different rider who is Contador (i.e the one that we believe is Bennati who has a much softer crash) but based ón Flo's clips and pictures I think its pretty safe to conclude that the Saxo rider futher back who crashed hard is Bertie.

Sadly neither Froome fans, Cotador fans nor neutral fans wants that. They would all prefer that "their" rider won straight up without help from crashes to their rivals.

I rooted for Nibali in the Giro but was very sad that Wiggo crashed and later also got sick. Would have preferred Nibali to crush a fit Wiggins.

You're wrong there, i'm sure some Froome fans are very happy with this. Don't have too much faith in how good humans are.

Very strange note from the fan of a rider whose supporters orgasmized from Wiggins' handling and descending skills.

Such BS.

He descends like a w****r and a c**t and he provided quite a bit entertainment because of his inability to steer his bike properly, not because he was involved in a crash at 55 km/h

Trying to pull a Siriouscat post like there? nah... FAIL... keep trying...

 

[vcampbell]

Someone mentioned here before, that please stop quoting trollstream. I ask for this again. He is on my ignore list, I don't want to read his posts. Thank you!

No difference. Fate is hurried to get you debt back for very good-hearted attitude.

Im sorry for Contador, but I'm absolutely not sorry for most of you.

Contador slept well, says Saxo-Tinkoff DS Philippe Mauduit. How is he feeling ? "We'll see in an hour when he's on the bike" #tdf

 

[LaFlorecita]

yea airTroll because Alberto fans are evil creatures that should be eradicated.

 

[Cimber]

You should also be sorry for the race and for SKY fans cos now Froomes win will always be associated with: oh ye but it was easy cos Contador crashed

Short memories. Funny isn't it. Some on here were laughing about Wiggins and his misfortunes. I suppose if it was Froome that crashed instead of Contador there would be many celebrating. Crashes are to to be expected in this sport but celebrating illness and misfortune is just stupid and childish.

The is a huge difference between laughing about his lack of descending skills and then laughing about his crash and illness. Not the same thing

this exactly. Why do some people not get this?

It wasn't a laugh. It was rampage of satisfaction due to one's misfortunes. And 1.5 months later people expect Froome (Sky) fans to treat Contador's crash compassionately. Not too logical I think.

 

[Publicus]

I see airsrream is talking out of his nether regions again. Back on topic, glad to see Contador slept well. Hopefully the stage is uneventful

For some people it is the same thing. Maybe not for you.

You know exactly what I am talking about. Don't pretend you don't.

I don't. Does this make me stupid?

On Topic: hope Alberto gets to the finish line in one piece. Also see he's wearing a normal helmet today, yay

Let's hope the hills take some of the nervous energy out of the bunch. No more falls but the GC riders will want to be in a good position for the long descent. Could be a good stage.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Hope he will not hit the ground anymore this tdf
I would hate that LFlo would then use him hitting the tarmac as an excuse when Fuglsang beats him in the gc

 

[Carols]

His legs seem to be okay today...why is he surrounded by Sky instead of Saxo riders????
