Yeah, Jacinto Vidarte (Tinkoff PR person) said that on Spanish TV. He lost consciousness temporarilymr. tibbs said:I think Carlton just said that Jesus is (or was) having trouble recognizing people b/c of his concussion.

He does have Tosatto and Bennati who are good friends as well, actually the entire team seems to be on good terms.murali said:i just hope he gets well for veulta.
i hope paulinho doesnt do anything stupid now. he is the only moral support left for AC.
From the coverage of NBCSN. Steve Schlanger (the guy who does the interviews talked to the Tinkoff Saxo staff and they said Alberto is feeling really good. But then he added that there are rumors going around between teams (which weren't identified) that Alberto might had mistimed his peak form for the tour because he's been winning throughout the season. So yes, I would say it's wishful thinking from these teams.LaFlorecita said:Where did you hear that? You know which teams? Sounds like wishful thinking to me too.

And it looks like Publicus heard it too.
I trust Alberto to time his peak right. Out of the 10 GTs he's ridden he's finished 7 as the winner. Can't remember the last time he misstimed his peak.indianfanboy said:I dont think he has peaked too early,he has come into the tour in top form
yeah normally he tries to peak at the middle of a tour but now under the guidance of De Jong he is peaking at the beginning and he should be able to hold his form...he has already done this early this season he came in good shape at the algrave peaked at Tirreno and held his form till Basque...its a proven methodLaFlorecita said:I trust Alberto to time his peak right.

you keep dwelling in the past results, lol. What is the point to compare the results from Jan.?LaFlorecita said:
UhmmmSeriousSam said:Quite impressive. What are their historical results in cobbled stages under torrid conditions though?
You don't think it's significant Nibali has only beat Contador once on a real MTF in last 5 years?maxmartin said:you keep dwelling in the past results, lol. What is the point to compare the results from Jan.?
in every major GT, Nibali is getting better and better, the trend is upward. While AC, let's just say he is not the same AC after the ban. And you are the one picking Nibali to win the Tour in this thread.LaFlorecita said:You don't think it's significant Nibali has only beat Contador once on a real MTF in last 5 years?
I probably shouldn't even bother, you're as blind as I am with Contador when it comes to Nibali. Hope AC spanks Nibali's *** all over France for the coming two weeks![]()
Got any evidence for that? I have evidence for my claim that Contador is as good as in 2011: his results this year.maxmartin said:in every major GT, Nibali is getting better and better, the trend is upward.

I guess you are already trying to cope with the disappointment.![]()
And I yes, I think Nibali is the favorite now, but you're writing AC off as if he's a 5th rate GC rider.maxmartin said:in every major GT, Nibali is getting better and better, the trend is upward.

i never said that, AC is still the biggest threat. Just look at the Jrod, made a small error, his first GT win was robbed by the AC. Nibali just have to play it smart, relying on his strong team to defeat AC.LaFlorecita said:And I yes, I think Nibali is the favorite now, but you're writing AC off as if he's a 5th rate GC rider.![]()
Vino attacks everyone said:AC fasn clinigng to straws, looking at results froom 2008![]()
I hear people talking like there's a differencePublicus said:Based upon what Contador and others around him have said, he's either in his 2009 TdF form or his 2011
