Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[xrayvision]

Someone who knows who Nicholas Gates is, and why his informed opinion deserves respect.

Who are you?

Somebody who doesnt go around claiming I know **** about cycling without proving it, you just make a statement, so what, does it make you an expert?

 

[Ryaguas]

Indeed!

Not this crap :
“Tomorrow I think there will be many attacks…I hope the legs work well.”

Yeah!

What I want to know is that the form is coming or not
My heart tells me that the form is coming... tomorrow will tell!

God sake why are you guys basing yourself on what Contador says in the press.

Usually he's just talking bs. He said he was gonna be as good as in previous tours, what we've seen until now that's a complete lie.

Besides the guy wasn't even that negative, just wait for tomorrow. Contador always speaks with his legs, corny line but nonetheless true.

You're doing a pretty good impersonation off the aforesaid if you ask me.

Nicholas Gates is an expert by definition.

Me? Expert enough to be able to read... Try it, and then find somebody who's interested in your opinion to play with. I am not.

Indeed, the more Sky are left guessing the better... The statements surely aren't to keep fans appeased or informed.

This place makes me laugh. Some people on here claim that Sean Kelly and Eddy Merckx know nothing about cycling either. As for Contador, he knows how to spin it and I'm not talking about the pedals. Too often he says something and does the opposite. He just likes giving journalists a quote. Anyway should be a war on the mountain tomorrow with Movistar looking for revenge and Froome will need eyes in the back of his head.

Come on Froome bury him on Ventoux, AC can only win by a strong team way dominate him like every climb you have done, rest day tomorrow so go all out try going away with Quintana point to your wheel to him and say follow for 2-3 kms then let him take over and ride to the top. Make Mollema real suffer two. Hope Valverde chases every attack down by Belkin, pictures prove it they cheated.

you don´t think you should go in the Froome thread with this post?

Unbelievable mods haven´t banned you yet.

seriously though, agree with xrayvision. Why not put that in the Froome thread? Putting it hear kinda seems like taunting/baiting the Contador fans.

 

[Jelantik]

Who gives a **** about podium?

Mollema is not a threat for Contador, he'll collapse eventually well maybe he'll be 3th but he won't be a threat for 2nd.

contador will eat mollema for breakfast, it's called molemchilada.

Contador's interview seems not too convincing, contrast with froome. Froome seemed to be confident that he even think of possibly taking more time if it's possible. Very different tune between these two rides. Whose leg will reign supreme at ventoux? Are we going to see Ax3 from sky again while everyone is hanging for dear life??

We gonna see the exact same thing we seen the last 2 years, a SKYBORG train going full gas at the bottom of the climb, and at first attack the Dawg goes full *** and drops everybody.

People talks about attacking here and there on this stage, I don´t see it, there is only one scenario here, the usual SKY show. It will be a showdown of strength, and not tactics.

Only thing that might could spice it up a bit is if the wind in the valley is strong enough.

 

[airstream]

Very hilarious thread. One rider is elevated up to God level while his main opponents is desperately bashed for the same things. The next step I bet will be is to accuse Froome of riding for the 1st place because its only Contador's prerogative.

Since there is a Froome thread, i can only assume the only purpose of this post, and many others you have done on this thread, is trolling.

If you continue like this you will be banned.

Do you really expect that after the way Sky have ridden for the past few days ? I think Froome will just wait for the attacks and see what happens and who he can let go and who he needs to follow. He knows Movistar will attack. Why would he kill his team with a week to go. He can ride defensively and try and make time later in the stage if he has the legs. Sky has lost two riders and also have injured riders. We have not seen much of the Sky train because Froome made time early in the race. Sky can't afford another stage like the one where Porte lost huge time and they were scattered up and down the road. All they can do is protect Froome until the climb and Porte will stay with him as long as possible. If Contador can't make time on this stage, it does not look good for him unless Froome has a bad day next week.

This was never gonna be a stage for Alberto to make up time. Next week is where it's at.

So were is the msg to them to spk of Froome in the other thread, like I said yday Mods are completely against people like me and others who cheer for Froome its obvious, threatning to ban me for that lol.

Yes you are write I could/should have put it in the other thread, I dint no everyone would be so touchy though, its not like this thread goes off topic isit. Im only writing what I think may happen Contador cant beat him uphill, its the truth.

Don't be silly. This forum belongs to the admins and mods and they set the rules to whatever they like. By posting on this forum we implicitly agree to their rules. You are just going to get yourself banned if you continue to break the rules whether you like those rules or not.

Instead, what you should do is to make sure the mods and admins apply the rule consistently and fairly for all. Just go to the Chris Froome discussion forum and report all the posts that cheer for Froome's rivals and cheering for Froome's demise - there are plenty of those.

Mate, TANK91 got warned for baiting, not for cheering for Froome. As I've told TANK91 many times, the problem isn't what you say, it's how you're saying it.

 

[xrayvision]

Use the ignore option people, it´s what it´s there for. And I would be more than happy if the 12 year old would do the same.

 

[movingtarget]

So you really think a few days will make a big difference if Froome does not look weaker today ? And if Contador loses time today ? I suppose a lot will depend on the conditions, often it is very hot and also windy on Ventoux. The obvious attackers will be Movistar.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

When did i say that?

Oh wait, I didn't. Your just making up stuff cos your upset that i called out your attempt to pass as someone who knows something about Contador when you said he loves the heat, and that i expose how little you actually know about Colombia.

yes you did. I was reaiding the topic and didn't feel like responding thinking it would be too easy to talk in hindsight since I hadn't poste din long time but you were cosntantly down talking any chances against froome, including contadors break being caught becaus ethey had 10 seconds, froome not dorpping in wind and valverde coming back as wlel. man just go back and read it. I know you are talking so much bull**** you don't even remember it yourself

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

One of the best DS´s around, former I should say, and the fact you don´t even know the guy just makes this question even more funny

how would you know he's a great ds. and why isn't he in the tour then

 

[xrayvision]

Alberto will try something today, but doubt he has the legs to make a difference.
