Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Netserk]

Okay, that was a bit.. I don't know.. wierd. In a positive way. Alberto was just on live on danish tv. Usually they can't get an interview of any riders but the danish ones. But Alberto did it all live, in english and he was super happy with great responses. First time I've seen that. Happy about his performance and his goal is, obviously, still to win the Vuelta (yeah, the interviwer is as thick as Alberto's responses suggest..) Pretty cool.

TV2 or DR?

- LaFlo

I pety the other forum which has to deal with her rage right now.

The ultimate proof she's a woman lol

 

[sartoris]

Sounds optimistic and good. This aint over.

This ain't over? This ain't started !!

24 hours.

The banning order reads like a 19th century doctor's diagnosis of hysteria. Tend to agree.

You know how they treated hysteria right?

Good treatment, I expected worse. She'll survive haha.

Is it absolutely confirmed LaFlorecita is a girl?

Could be an emotional and sensitive dude

Why would you look after it on Zulu?

I can't find the interview on tv2's website. They are not going to upload it I assume.

That would be my guess as well. (S)he is very "analytical" for a girl, that's for sure. That usually doesn't match with a hysterical fan girl personality.

Ups, its been quite a while since i lived in DK, I ment Sputnik, which I for some reason thought would have it.

 

[Maxiton]

For LaFlorecita.

The misogyny is strong in you.

Hello I am back !

 

[maxmartin]

Hello I am back !

welcome
AC needs your support. How do you feel about tomorrow?

 

[SafeBet]

He's gonna win the stage.

 

[maxmartin]

He's gonna win the stage.

Any reason so bullish?
Alien CF obviously is in the stage believing he is invincible. He is even spilling big chunk of energy to lead out Ben Swift just before tomorrow's big climb.

I think GC will still be tightly packed after tomorrow, real fight will come in stage 14,15,16.

 

[Kwibus]

Apparently rain predicted once they hit the final climbs. The descent of the penultimate climb is techical so I'm curious if Alberto decides to attack Froome on the downhill.
He liked to attack on the descents in the Tdf2011 as well, but I'm afraid Froome will just sit behind Henao and Uran and let Contador ride away. Then let Uran and Henao burn themselves for him on the last climb while Contador has to do it all alone.

Hmmm Contador will probably not attack on the downhill

 

[Miburo]

Actually I hope it rains, Contador proved he's good when it rains so why not? aslong as no one falls of course and the tv communication works.

 

[SafeBet]

Any reason so bullish?

Cause he's a champion, and champions always deliver when under pressure.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Alberto's foundation is collecting old used bicycles which he will give to children in third world countries. After 6 stages they had already collected over 40 bicycles of which one belonged to Miguel Indurain

"Oye, Contador, que sepas que yo soy del Euskaltel, pero hoy quiero que ganes tú, ¿vale?". Contador, Alberto, no puede contener la risa.

I don't think he's putting us on; he doesn't have it yet. Thank goodness week 3 is the hardest, he may have some catching up to do.

Will have to see how it goes...Vamos Alberto!!
