Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

It reminds of this.

Just for you:

 

[Beech Mtn]

The astana jersey looks really good on him indeed.

And for you:

Wish things had worked out better for that team. I looooved the AC-Vino combination.

And these were just funny/weird:


How about a job, mi amigo?

He was nowhere near The Chicken speed. Ras had over three minutes on Contador when he was withdrawn by Rabo. And good ol' Cadel was 24 seconds short to reach Paris in yellow.

Because you wanted to know how many gts he won

Rasmussen had a breakaway. Think AC had overall the best climbing times except for that stage?

Yea, miss AC working for Vino to (yes, that is how it was... Shut up people!)

He dropped him on the Galibier, but that was due to Rasmussen's breakaway in my opinion, Rasmussen was easily the strongest guy in 2007

'Easily' doesn't seem totally fair and true to me. I'd say they were pretty close, in the mountains. Rasmussen, however, the smartest and most efficient one, IMO (Contador rode like a rookie, which of course he pretty much was, but too gutsy sometimes). That being said, Contador normally would have done better in the last TT, and (neutralizing Rasmussen's breakaway) could already have had a 39 second advantage - which of course isn't correct either.

rasmussen said if he wanted, he could have put 3 minutes on alberto on aubisque. but he had mercy
i think he was the strongest by far.

Yeah he could've put 3 minutes into him but decided to put just 30s

 

[jens_attacks]

not always is wise to be too strong. as an example, froomey could have won this tour by 10 minutes +. but he didn't. it was a wise and sane decision

Who knows Rasmussen might've blown up if he'd climbed Aubisque at a much fasted pace. It sounds like bragging to me if he really said that.

No, i really didn't.

Same with Evans- but he had to mark 3 riders, Contador only one.

If only he had not tried to respond to every attack

Also his gap to Contador was 23 seconds

 

[LaFlorecita]

New TT position for Berto

Compared to

PS he's so fat compared to 2009

 

[maltiv]

That looks like a much better position imo. His position this year was way too strained and looked extremely uncomfortable.

To be fair, it s November, not July

Compare the Dauphiné pic with the July 2009 pic

Is that June AC? Jesus, no wonder he can't climb any more
