I can understand why lance kiddos hate him because of this and Arcalis:

I can understand why Andy fans hate him because of chain gate and even last year Contador stole the Tour from Andy unknowingly so that could be another reason

For the rest, I have no idea

Edit: Still, I am a little bit mad about Contador because he didnt help Schleckies enough the kick Lance out of the podium

Because he wins

Not just that but he won versus the icon, the legend, the one that is worshipped the world over (LA), denying his triumphant return and he won versus the media's chosen successor to LA's throne (darling Andy). The Andy fans are likely the same fans that love and worship LA. Contador is public enemy number one with them.

yea and I hated him for like 0,000001 second when he left Astana. But then ofc i realized that Contador is waaay to awesome to be hated.

Alberto isn't even that awesome.

Well. He is amongst the favourites to be the new "the awesome one", when "the awesome one" retires. And as we all know to be "the awesome one" you got to be pretty darn awesome

Alberto is too soft and too sweet to be pretty darn awesome.

I don't think they actually hate Contador. ACF I suspect used to have a thing for disliking Spaniards (especially Valverde and Contador) because they always were in the way of Evans road to success. He probably still strongly dislikes Valverde and I detect that he still harbors a bit of resentment for Contador primarily for his supposed assistance to Valverde in a particular Dauphine but hate is a bit strong a word for ACF. He's mellowed.

Roundabout I'm guessing tires of all the anti-Andy and anti-Schlecks vibe that often comes from the Contador supporters and feels the need to be the counterpoint to that faction. Same with Airstream although with him it's often difficult to detect if even he truly believes what he's saying or just trying to be the counterpoint at all costs. Maybe he just tries to match what he see's as the hyperbole that is coming from the Contador supporters with his own over-the-top prognostications of Andy's soon to be world dominance.

Yeah, he can be quite awesome during a race. But off the bike he just isn't the character Vino is.

I really can't understand why there are so many Alberto haters. I mean, okay, you don't have to love him, and of course there are the Clinic reasons... But really, I don't understand all the hatred towards him.

Asides from Airstream (who doesnt really hate him either) the other 2 do not direct a lot of hate towards him... what I mean to say is that a lot of this hate is imaginary, people dont hate Contador they may make jokes about him due to his unfortunate circumstances but hating doesnt come really into the equation.

 

[Havetts]

May I raise my hand as a so-called 'hater', seeing I get named that a lot?

Believe it or not there are a lot of haters. I deal with them every day. So why wouldn't they be on the forum?

Of course that all can be interpreted differently and is a matter of opinion.
There are forum members that seem to possess an extremely strong dislike for Contador. Since I don't share their sentiments I can't recall their names just the words of obvious dislike that I read. If you doubt me you can feel free to do a search using the derogatory play on Contador's name of your choice:

Aldirto
Clentador
Clentadope
Dopador,
Dirty Bert...etc

I guess its safe to guess that if you call a rider by names similar to these
then you don't think too positively of that rider.

No you may not! I was suckered by you once but never again!

Fixed it for you!
