Why is it in the Alberto thread? Doesn't it fit better in the Saxo thread?

I was just expecting more Berto

In a sense it is, anything concerning Saxo - Tinkoff goes back to Berti, including this:

Evidence suggests that Chris Anker Sørensen is also looking at Team Saxo Bank Tinkoff Bank in 2013. Dane is currently negotiating with Bjarne Riis.
Chris Anker Sorensen
"The ox from Hammel" looks set to continue with Bjarne Riis and points out that he would like to continue on the Danish team.

"I would like to continue, and I've talked a little with Bjarne and I think we are alright close," says Chris Anker Sørensen opposite Ekstrabladet.dk.

Chris Anker Sørensen points out that he also keeps other doors open if it would not turn into a contract with Bjarne Riis and Co..
"I expect to agree with Bjarne. We negotiate for an extension of the contract, and it looks good, "adds Chris Anker Sørensen, do not put a timeframe on when he expects that the contract is in place.

"It's not just up to me, unfortunately."

No he is banned until 5 August so he is free to race again on 6 August.

Nada mejor para recuperarse de una caida que 3500m de desnivel con una temperatura media de 39 grados

What a hero

 

[icefire]

What a hero

What a liar. Or he needs a new cyclocomputer.

Temperature around Madrid has not gone above 28 degrees today. And it's usually cooler in la Sierra where he usually is seen training.

Or maybe he was training somewhere else, who knows? I can't imagine he would exaggerate 28 degrees to be 39 degrees.

"@dogsandcycling: Not nice: ad for La Vuelta on Universal Sports, calling Contador "Cycling's Most Controversial Rider" & showing clips of chaingate+angry Andy"

Well, the other day, at Capena, along the Via Tiburina, the temperature registered 43. I feel heroic!

You know the temperature wasn't the reason I called Alberto a hero, right.

But of course.

The Tour this year has been boring without him.

Lol!

"@jesushernandez3: @albertocontador seguimos recuperandonos de la caida con otros 4000m de ascension!!ya me duelen mas las piernas que las heridas!!jajaja"

It really is a good article and gives me the impression that ASO has no interest in keeping him out in 2013.

Velasco is the Tiger Woods of cycling and the Versus/NBC sports cast has always pretended he doesn't exist ever since he got Edward's panties in a bunch and then humiliated his holiness Mano a Mano two times. What a disgrace that North American sports fans are so oblivious to ths once in a generation talent. All because of Edward's hubris and his vast army of sycophants.

All the kings horses and all the kings men aren't able to salvage Edward's dying legacy.....

one last metaphor to mix....Bit by bit the curtain exposes the great and powerful Oz from Austin TX as just a dottering narcissist desperately yanking levers and strings while the world snickers at the pathetic little man behind the myth built on lies.

I train at the airport, don't you? I also intentionally use jet back blast as a headwind to make it harder. Just kidding, I use it as a tailwind.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Lol apparently Tinkov was cheering for Italy during today's Euro final because he hates Spain and everything and everyone in it... except Alberto, he tweeted

I'm not fooled and neither are any knowledgeable USA fans. The media shove the Schlecks down our throats and the once a year followers buy into it At least the Universal commentators Steve and Gogo are unbiased and just call the race the way it is...they get really excited by AC. But P&P show their Lance a*s kissing/Schleck bias every chance they get

Universal's commercials for the Vuetla truly s*ck...but I can hardly wait to see Alberto rip the legs off the little golden boy It's gonna be a show, a show of total Dominance!!!
