Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

Yesterday's result seems decent enough. If he can finish top 10 today within 15 seconds from Kwiatkowski and about 8 from Costa I'll be happy.

Very good but Kwaitkowski is insane

Not really that different to last year so far though in that last year at this point of the year - (late February) he was very very good in the Tour of Oman.

Yep, you're right.

 

[Netserk]

While it's no promise, it certainly is in the right direction. Wouldn't have expected him to do better today than he did.

+1. He needs to win something here to convince us that this year is different.

But last year Contador raced San luis in january prior to Tour of Oman. He had more KMs in his legs, which is not the case this year! I think he is fine

Berto on FB:

"Today test at Algarve TT. It lack a little, but satisfied with my condition in this moment. Congrats to the really strong Kiawtkowski."

 

[BigMac]

Looking good!

 

[Netserk]

His thighs seem slim.

Yup. He did manage to ride a great TT though

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

just came home. Looked like he was flying today (like an obese eagle)

 

[EnacheV]

The only reason is doing Algarve is to get an easy, low competition, first season win. Anything else is a failure imo.

His DS seemed to share the same thinking. So I guess, he is better now. But I'm not completely convinced yet. His other rivals seems far better with their form this early season. I want to see him tomorrow. Tomorrow is higher climb than thursday. His rival in this race is only Kwiat and Rui costa. His other GC contender rivals who compete on different race have more depth of opponent to deal with. I guess that's why we expect him to excel more.

Contador wasn't completely satisfied himself either.

But I am not going to worry about other rivals showing better form because that was to be expected. I want to focus on Contador, see if he is in better shape than last year.
