Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Butterhead]

it's kinda hard to read Contador now. He doesn't show some kind of confidence like in TA. He is a little more scaled back with his ambition. He didn't even mention about the "s" word either. His DS didn't say anything remotely like in TA. So I wonder if he is actually in a fatique period..

I just hope he won't get embarrassed by Froome. Now with Porte is gone, one less headache to deal with. But I'm sure Lopez or Sitsou might play the Richie's role.

He´s just playing with the Froomedawg, before he totally destroys him, like a lion playing with it´s meal before it kills it and eats it.
It´s the new Alberto, the new IRONMAN FROM PINTO part 2.

Be afraid, be very afraid!!

LOL.. I hope you are right. I'm too.. scaling back my hope. But not lying, tomorrow is a suspense Maybe tomorrow won't be so much attacking compare to Thursday. But learning from last year TDF, Froome likes to destroy everyone on the first mountain stage. I hope Contador can match Froome toe to toe.

Weather wise, Purito doesn't like wet and cold. Contador is fine in the rain and cold, but his fitness after TA is unknown. Bentacur is fine and I believe Quintana too.

Touche. I was (as I noted) thinking about T-A, but you are correct. My sample size of one is insufficient

If Contador has recovered well from TA he won't have much trouble staying with Froome, in fact he will give him a spanking.

Nice, let's cross our fingers

After his little display at the end of the stage yesterday, I would think he recovered fine. So let´s hope he brought the big whip out, the dawg really needs a good spanking

...didn't Purito win GdL in wet conditions (I can't recall how cold it was)?

Purito won 2 Lombardia's in bad conditions, in 2012 even in terrible conditions.

And in 2012 he won FW in cold conditions.

He copes the cold well.

I dont care if its Bertie or someone else who does it, but yes he really does need it.

 

[Carols]

Well the big day is here, I'm nervous! Hopefully the 'IRONMAN FROM PINTO' sends the Dawg yelping back to his mommy We shall see!

What did he do?

 

[Netserk]

What did he do?

He attacked, got a 1 minute gap in 200m, made a wheelie, and waited for the peloton.

You forgot he smoked a cigarette while he waited

 

[Afrank]

Then as he drifted back past Froome in the peloton gave him a silent head nod to say "your move..."

What did he do?

You missed it? He took a little flyer off the front while the sprint was forming. Just staying out of trouble. But I think he was doing an interval to prep for today
