Oops sorry wrong forum.

Contador isnt doing the WC he says.

He wasn't doing the Vuelta either

But then Spain has more then enough captains... last year even one to many.

No prob my friend, I once spammed a race thread with Alberto pictures, mistakes happen

Contador isnt doing the WC he says.

I was hoping for that, really. I would rather see him prepare to the max for Lombardia instead of him working for P&P.

I just reviewed yesterday's stage.

Amazing: Alberto in the last 5km was always on the pedals like the old days. Especially when followed Froome and later when ihe attacked the last km.

great

 

[Jelantik]

Has he said he definitely won't do the Giro next year? Personally I'd like to see him try to trackle the Giro and the Tour.

not with froome concentrating for TDF. He needs to be as fresh as possible to compete with Froome. Unless if he is lucky like Nibali this year, then Contador will have a bigger chance to win both (ow boy.. i'm gonna get beaten up by nibali fans now!)

I think he could've done the double between 2008 and 2011 if he had tried and hadn't got unlucky. Unfortunately for him, the competition has gotten better and I don't see him doing it now, unless he gets incredibly lucky. I hope he wins the Tour at least one more time, cause he's got a lot of unfinished buiseness there. I also hope he'll come back to the Giro to win it a third time, cause such a great win was taken from him

I was thinking yesterday, did Leipheimers results of the 2008 olympics get stripped, cause if so, he'd be an olympic medalist.

Nope

Leipheimer incriminated his former teammate Lance Armstrong and then accepted a 6-month ban from September 1, 2012 to March 1, 2013 and was stripped of all race results from June 1, 1999 to July 30, 2006, and July 7 to July 29, 2007.

Would have been a sad medal anyway

Yeah. I saw Alberto back at his bachata best with the pedals, looking totally relaxed in the slipstream of Extraterrestial. And then that finish was totally thermonuclear. Lets say he is back on a very high level.

If that was Alien he met then he is the friggin Ridley Scott.

"Like the old days". Agree and this is what worries me about Alberto.

Once again, take it to the clinic.

I was asking about a fact, what's hypocritical about that?

 

[ExtraSpoke]

Nice description:

"Clunk. Contador shifted to a big gear and just as his chain dropped onto a smaller sprocket so did his cadence drop. Chris Froome looked back and looked again but as soon as he resumed looking at his stem Contador jumped, winding up the newly selected big gear and Froome had no answer..."

It would help a lot if you would just ignore these obvious trolling attempts.

LOL. Best part of the comment.

That you in the post before talk about Contador winning the Giro for a third time (= he has won it twice), yet in the next post write: "did Leipheimers results of the 2008 olympics get stripped, cause if so, he'd be an olympic medalist"

It's hypocritical to both think he won two Giri and that he'd be an Olympic medalist if Levi is stripped. You can't have it both ways.

From AS, google translate

Cesar Flores: "Alberto took the bike to the fifth day of their fall"

Cesar Flores, specialist in sports traumatology CEMTRO Clinic since 2003, was commissioned to travel to Lugano to heal the wound of Alberto Contador. He explains the evolution and alcane his injury.

- Explain under what conditions Contador entered in CEMTRO Clinic.

- Alberto falls in the Tour on July 14, is contacted with Dr. Leyes and me, and the next day come to our hospital. We provides a radiograph showing a fracture seen in tibial plateau. Will we make a scanner that confirms the injury, apart from initiating a cure contusion on his right knee.

- What kind of fracture was suffering?

- For the best he could suffer because it is an intra-articular lesion in the anterior part, which entails no trouble loading without crushing or displacement. An athlete would not have gotten his recovery. A cyclist not affected by pedaling.

- So it was mounted on the bike soon.

- As the condition did not require surgery, estimated a period of ten days to rest and did not touch the bike. But Alberto grabbed five, it is in their nature.

- So, the prognosis was not so serious?

- Although people think that no, it was. The fracture soldering in five or six weeks, and the wound was reopened and further compicó, have prevented reaching the Tour of others.

- What was your doctor's recommendation?

- What type of injuries presented, we thought it would be really difficult to get out of Jerez.

- Now we see him as a leader and in top form, this means that well trained during rehabilitation.

- Yes, it was well prepared. Not in the best of circumstances the Tour, because the wound was delayed and took antibiotics, but it's true that exercise was good.

- You went to Lugano to sew the wound again.

Yes, the 24th Le practiced surgical cleaning, I removed dead flesh and pebbles that were pulled into the anterior suture. Before he announced his resignation visit the Vuelta, as the Italian doctor to recommend items removed and the wound was reopened. Luckily, shortened deadlines.

- Was trained with the left leg?

- On the 25th day, for an hour and a half.

- You risk your health in this Tour?

- No, welded fracture and the wound has healed.

- Do you consider part of your success for the help in the process?

- All credit goes to Alberto, your honor, resilience and sacrifice. To me it has impressed me.

Turns out I was right about everything, oh how much you can achieve by simply doing some research and using your brain

Translation is a bit messed up but is OK hahaha

What a recovery... Alberto is like Wolverine haha (I know bad joke)

The important part after the recovery was that Alberto could get on the bike although He still had problems to walk normally... I'm pretty sure that AC has a pain threshold really high and even if he had some pain while being on the bike He could handle it

What do you think of Saxo Tinkoff? Team didn't look bad on monday in general and Hernández looked like he was in super shape.
