Rory riding Dauphiné

Rory Sutherland ‏@rorysutherland1 14m
@dailystews see you at Dauphine!

So after Catalunya and Pais Vasco he will support Contador at the Dauphiné too. Hope that means he'll get a Tour spot.

I think it tells us that - Yes!
I think that Roche goes for Vuelta no?

I think the plan was for Roche to do the Tour but we will see.

I read somewhere that his next big target is Vuelta,but not remember where,oh that ...... memory

I would gladly take Sutherland. Roche doesn't seem all that motivated to be a domestique anyway.

I would prefer Rory over Nico too.. hmmm

I agree. He's been of little help to Majka and was pretty useless to AC last year as well

 

[LaFlorecita]

Realized this today.

Aru says in an interview "Admiro a Contador, que es un gran campeón"

Barguil called himself a fan of Contador on Twitter and in an interview.

I thought that was cool but it's hardly surprising. When they were just getting serious about their pro career Berto started his domination.

Just something I realized

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

Aru seems to have that same attacking flair as Contador, it's wonderful to watch

 

[LaFlorecita]

Looking good. Can't remember the last time I've seen him this skinny 2008 maybe?

 

[Miburo]

Maybe this is just me and it's hard to judge on one picture. But his muscles on his leg look big as ****.

 

[Jack_89]

I am anxious that begins Dauphinè, especially second and seventh stages with hardest MTF

This year i have a lot hope in Alberto

think his leg is resting on the seat, so it gets wider

 

[Krzysztof_O]

In recent two years Contador definitely lacked his best gear in the mountains. This year however he seems to be in the best shape since Giro 2011. Hope he can show best form in July and defeat Froome (after a good battle).

Are you for real? His legs are very slim.

Big as ****? Not really. Strong as ****? Probably.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Personally I hope to see him at his 07 bat**** level. Will atleast be able to chellenge Nibbles that way

 

[rzombie1988]

Contador peaked at the 2011 Giro and was very clearly not himself any more after. I didn't get any clues that he would be beating Froome in this year's Tour, and with Froome's super strong team, I think it will be very hard.

AC in this years TA and in Basque country was much stronger than what he has been in years. I think it is a higher possibility this year than last year atleast

 

[PirazziAttacksVino]

Certainly looks fit. Getting ready for Alien vs Predator (vs Shark ?)

Any chance you have been living under a stone during the last few months He caused death and destruction in TA and PV

made Quintana his *****, thats for sure

 

[TANK91]

Froome is the best though, im sorry it is that hard to accept. This is Froome's time not Contador's time.

Why don't you wait till after the TDF to make such a biased statement? Just because he won last year's Tour doesn't mean it's his time. We have't seen the best of Contador vs the best of Froome yet. And btw, in 2014 it's Contador-Froome 1-0

 

[The Hitch]

A bit tired after a hard training

Reminds me of what he looked like last July.

Only he wasn't wearing so much and Froome was on top
