Oh come on LaFlo, this is your big chance. Gotta go stalk AC at the clubs after the races :D

That's another funny one because i am definetly not the stalker type but was starting to feel like one staying at the same hotel lol!

Lots of funny stories...

I guess you are right... geez I always thought AC wasn't the clubbing type!

One doesn't have to be the clubbing type to go to a club when you are in a group and everyone else is going there. I know this well.

And with Contador's money he wouldnt even need to club. He can get hisself the vip suitte or whatever, invite who he wants in and make friends and socialize.

Maybe thats why hes so popular in the peloton ;) Its possibly the way how he became friends with Danny Pate. If a guy comes down tells you you have been invited to vip lounge, theres strippers in the middle and Contador offering you a bottle of crystal on the ice to down, you tend to start to like the guy

Hypothetically of course.
 
Is it just me or has Alberto gotten leaner since the TDF?

Lmao. He definitely is slimmer than after the tour. I'm not blind. On post-Tour photos he looked downright fat, now he looks in good shape.
He probably screwed up his diet just like Nicolas Roche did. He too was complaining that the diet made by the team only made him gain weight.

Contador will be back to his best in worlds imo. It probably won't be enough to win though, but I'm sure we'll see a great performance by him.

One can only hope, i doubt it though :(

This year it seems that most of the guys who got a peak for Giro or Tour got troubles to have a 2nd peak as high as first.

Contador was fairly good in Canada but not close to his best shape.


Here's Contador's form curve of this year for you:

Where exactly is the peak in that?
