The Ping pong ball, just doesn't have the same ring to it as The Great One or more recently the Peoples Champion
I lolled at that reaction that he hadn't been to Kenya and therefore didn't get the parasite and alien formXD

Miburo said:So Contador didn't feel the same sensations in Corsica, if that's the case then why was he still saying during the tour the sensations were getting better and better when he knew that wasn't the case?
He shouldn't have lied like that
Giving me false hope was cruel lol
Pricey_sky said:Sky wishing to make him Froome's number 2 when Porte leaves
LaFlorecita said:I haven't heard him mention his sensations once.
I'm sure he did though just to give you false hope
Miburo said:Lombardia today, (
Come on flo, you are the expert on what Contador does every day. Find out for meLaFlorecita said:Something to do with sponsors. Does it really matter what?
Miburo said:Alberto Contador @albertocontador 17 july
Today needed very little to get it, but could not be, sensations continue to improve, this is good. Now,3 hard days ahead.
Don't lie to yourself laflo.
Lombardia today, praying for an attack
LaFlorecita said:Apparently Contador has agreed to a pay cut

10 to 15% the article says
That would mean he'd go from ~€3.3mln to somewhere between ~€3mln (10%) and ~€2.8mln (15%)
Also interesting, Specialized apparently pays ~€2mln on top of that. So if the rumors about Kemo are true, and Specialized are really dropping Saxo AND Contador, Contador is in for a close to 50% paycut because I can't imagine Kemo becoming a personal sponsor to Contador.

Le Baroudeur said:Cramp is Cramp... happens... His team did well so worth a little smile?
LaFlorecita said:Since his ban he's had more cramps than during the other 9 years of his career
Le Baroudeur said:Yes, he isn't an 18 year old anymore and getting your fitness right becomes harder every year.
You're too young and pretty to be so cynical...
LaFlorecita said:Lmao, whatever
You're talking about him as if he's 38
Le Baroudeur said:If you don't accommodate age, at 18 you can do anything, at 25 you wish you hadn't, by 30 you feel really rough, 35 you need a week to recover, come 40 the doctor is giving a you the serious face.
If he finds the right balance he will still do well imho, and if not he remains a huge asset as a mentor to the team, which while not a physical victory, it's a victory through transference none the less.
