Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[cycladianpirate]

AC is, quite literally, loved by many here.

Let's be honest, it's complete 'doublethink'. But, whatever, there are going to be a lot of happy people when "the eyebrows" smokes Froome in the Vuelta

 

[Cimber]

Contador seems to NOT ride Clasica Ciclista San Sebastian after all

Imo its probably a good idea to take a short break after ENECO before the Vuelta

That's weird, it was confirmed he would ride it. I would ride it, more mountains and that way he can level up how the other guys of his teams and other teams are doing.

But there are 9 people on the list, so not confirmed one yet.

That's mean.

 

[El Pistolero]

Actually he is a decent TTer on prologues (no 20 in the Tour) and short TTs. But then again u cant always compare a TT to a TTT. Fx Nicki Sørensen is said to be a good TTTer but he is a bad TTer

I mean he has the tendency to crash horribly during time trials.

Ah ok. Yeah I remember Paris-Nice only too well. That crash ruined his spring

You are talking with a guy (started watching cycling in July) who are very concerned people should have benefit of the doubt during serious allegations such as these. Oh, if they are brits of course.

If that's aimed at me you are totally wrong, I started watching in the late 80s. I hate all dopers/cheaters and think they should all get a lifetime ban (and that includes Millar before you spout any more rubbish).

All I ask for is proof, not just internet (read unfounded) allegations. That's one thing I do agree with Wiggins about, he was spot on with his comments.

Why do you have to keep on about doping in Prr section?

It's an answer to an earlier poster. Plenty of d comments were made (un-modded) against Sky during the Tour, no one seemed to mind them

Didnt people get alot of warnings/infractions from the mod or got suspended during the tdf?

There were still a large number made even after warnings, but let's not take this thread OT and away from the AC lovers.

Clinic----->

Wiggins comments that any team with a doping doctor should not be invited to the tour are not unfounded allegations. They were very real and can be found online in his 2007 speech, along with his comments that all tdf winners deserve scepticsm giving us the right to speculate all we want, regardless of how much his position on the subject has changed since he met Lance who he sitll regards as the hero.

 

[The Hitch]

Clinic----->

Anytime a troll comes in here with these clinic baits, report them. The mods have proved very fair with regards to deleting comments from people posting clinic and even sanctioning those who know the rules but do it deliberately nonetheless (and this case clearly belongs to the latter option)

If the poster had any motive other than trolling he would post about the wiggins clinic thing in the wiggins clinic thread, and not bait people with his spin on it in the prr.

Dont respond, report. thats the way to deal with it.

 

[Cav the Great]

Anyone else hoping the sooner Contador falls off the side of a mountain the better ?

He probably hang from a car like Cavendish, don't worry.

 

[Ferminal]

Please do not wish harm on cyclists...

And please no baiting re: Clinic topics, there are plenty of threads in the appropriate section if you wish to express how much you love/dislike Contador as a result of the CAS verdict.

I simply can´t believe this, Noval is set to ride the Vuelta according to Saxo website. Unbelievable.

To be fair I love the rest of selection, Majka above all.

Hopefully the russian friend have a word with the team about Noval and of course let expire his contract

Yes, I'm happy too that Majka will be there!

But Noval? Eh...

what's SO wrong with Noval riding the vuelta?

Noval is a useless rider, yesterday, again, was the first dropped rider when he is there as an expert flat rider

 

[the asian]

Noval seems to be Contador's personal bodyguard. If Navarro leaves SBTB I'm sure Noval will stay on, unless perhaps if they sign Tiralongo.

Everything
