Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[The Hitch]

Damn, that is sad to hear

I mean its not like it isnt going to be half the current Saxo team - Navarro, Hernandez, Noval, Contador. Christ couldn't contador just bring better people to saxo?

Or did he get a good offer from that Santander thing or something?

 

[LaFlorecita]

What the? That came out of nowhere. So did I get it right, they're gonna set up a whole new team around Alberto? Might not be such a bad idea.

Who's gonna ride for that team.

(Maybe it's the Alonso idea? You know, that idea from 2009?)

I know!!!!!!!!!! He needs to stay with Bjarne&Saxo!!

 

[killswitch]

Only if it has the option Vino/Duggan/other..

Fixed.

Bad for Riis and Saxo. Hopefully the team doesn't fold up.

 

[LaFlorecita]

What was all this talk about Saxo being his priority?

Berto I am disappoint.

Actually, probably it'll have more quality riders than Saxo would, especially if it is the Alonso idea

No particular reason as such. I am saying lets wait for more details.

Zam please share your wisdom with us. We need your wise words in times on despair.

But you need to understand! Bjarne&Berto is the perfect combination.

Maybe my dislike for Bjarne is making my judgements clouded, but I personally just don't see how it is that they are

lolzzzz .....i dont know anything, waiting for the news to hit major news site or journalist.

exactly...that's not a reliable source...

it didn't even make the news...
riis will put his stuff together....who knows, maybe those banks will be one team lol
alberto needs a stronger team anyway but with riis in charge.

 

[Fetisoff]

Also thinking, do Spanish banks really have any money to be spending it on sponsoring cycling right now?

 

[Havetts]

The basque bank which, thank god, invested in the basque races luckily did. Not sure about the other banks.

Wow that would be awesome!!

 

[Froome19]

So Berto wont ride for Riis after the Vuelta?

R.I.P. SaxoBank-Sungard

If Saxo has signed him they would have gone down to PC level now that they will have free money they can use to get guys like Fuglsang who are guaranteed points and will increase their chances of staying up.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Oh god, yes give Alberto a team like the Astana 09... I am gona get soooo bored in the next couple of tour de france....

 

[SafeBet]

Where is the freaking poll?

 

[l.Harm]

Yes....why..?

Because I just guessed a name based on LaFlorecita and it turned out to be right.

 

[happychappy]

This is my favorite picture of Berty. Hey Berty! You'd better moooooooove over, they've given that jersey to someone that isn't banned for taking drugs!

 

[Fetisoff]

funny picture

Well, someone has just called LaFlorecita a borderline stalker yesterday, so the whole situation is kinda funny to me

Berties head is twice the size of that of a cow.

I think we have the proof we were looking for, for the Contador's head thread in le clinic.

You're on your way to a major ban...i feel sorry for you...
