We need a list to appreciate it.

Setmana Catalana 2005
Tour Down Under 2005
Tour de Romandie 2005, 2006

Tour de Suisse 2006
Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana 2007

Very nice win for Contador. 2014 Contador is definitely much improved from 2013. Good to see.

 

[Red Rick]

I do think he has to return to the Giro to at least win a stage and get back in that list officially

 

[Afrank]

Contador has now won stages in all major 1 week stage races

Froome is right to be scared.

“After a difficult year, he’s back,” Tinkoff sport director Phillippe Mauduit told VeloNews. “The team worked, Roman [Kreuziger] attacked and the boss won.”

“We spoke a lot about what he did last year,” Mauduit said. “What happened last year was normal after all the years of fighting against teammates, against teams, against other things. He had to breathe last year. Mentally it was hard. He kept fighting and kept working but it was simply hard. Everyone can understand that, he’s human.”

Psst. Dani Moreno

Unlike Purito, Brown isn't better at the super steep stuff. He seems to do better on more modest gradients.

Hmm we'll see needless to say I would be incredibly happy with another win

 

[Jelantik]

something to put in to perspective of today's stage. Contador win should be a good sign, because it was a hard stage. So I'm happy to see him dancing again.

[arvc40]

Very nice win for Contador. 2014 Contador is definitely much improved from 2013. Good to see.

Told any of the knockers this would be so. 2014 onwards and upwards

[Red Rick]

What are the odds of attacking on the Lanciano and getting over the top with a group of people like Contador, Kreuziger, Porte, Quintana and Scarponi

 

[Red Rick]

Also, how technical is the descent of the Lanciano?

 

[LaFlorecita]

What are the odds of attacking on the Lanciano and getting over the top with a group of people like Contador, Kreuziger, Porte, Quintana and Scarponi

Very high odds I bet if you've got a feeling it'll happen I'd put some money on it if I were you

 

[the sceptic]

Kreuziger was incredibly strong today. He needs to attack on lanciano as well and hopefully someone like Horner will go too and really blow things up.

lanciano is a real climb so it should be possible to do some damage.

 

[The Hitch]

Unlike Purito, Brown isn't better at the super steep stuff. He seems to do better on more modest gradients.

I remember him being ****ing good for Murito on Valdepenas and San Lorenzo in 2011. There's only one rule for Moreno and that's that he performs when Murito lets him.
