Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Zam_Olyas]

it was said in another thread.

Something like what was he thinking, we were never worried about him, he read too much about attacking in the papers

the translation is not important really

the riders are sweating and the staff are just hanging around eating ice cream

What other thread and did they post a link?

It looks to me like the rider on the right has his seat FAR too high. I assume Contador is on the left (or he's a lot heavier than reported )--definitely Contador, he uses a lightweight rear wheel

Yup Berto on the left, Roman on the right I think. Still think Alberto seems in a weird position on the bike

I have no idea

He is at the very bottom of his stroke and it looks like he has easily 5 degrees, looks like a good position. I think it is a bit of an optical illusion.

I'm expecting Contador to lose 2 mins on today's TT

I'm expecting to see some fight and some sparks of life from contador's today.

Looks normal to me. I trust that he's comfortable with the position but I'll put a pin in this (until we hear post-stage that he didn't feel comfortable on the bike )

He did win.

Go check the official records. You'll see AS won it

Pretty good times by both ,hold it!

We will see what Froomeborg does

 

[LaFlorecita]

Now Berto looks to be struggling. Froome flying.

 

[Netserk]

Go Alberto!

 

[boladelmundo]

What? Valverde is faster by 1 second than Bertie at the first time check.

 

[Jelantik]

contador is fading..... froome smashing martin first time checked. All hell break loose...

 

[boladelmundo]

10.20 for Froome, scary. 1 second better than Tony Martin.

 

[Red Rick]

He's gonna ride top 20, that's a lot better than getting 61 in the dauphine

Outdone in the time trial by Mollema and Valverde.

Berto must end his career quickly

He'll still end before them in the tour.

I think there were a lot of positives from his ride. He's definitely improving and I think he can beat both of them in the Alpes. I'm really looking forward to the battle for the podium. No one is touching the alien. No one.

Why? Did you expect any better? He finished 13th, not bad at all. He's just in **** form.
