It is a shame but I'll have to put you on ignore. You do post interesting things but gee you are annoying. Not even the biggest Alberto haters are on my ignore list.

Lol.

Hehe. Arnout made a perfect rational constructive post if you ask me.
I like Contador, actually I'm cheering for him this Vuelta. Last saturday when he attacked with 800m I actually got out of my seat cheering which rarely happens. Just to let you know I'm no hater as well, but you allready knew that!

Banning is a solution though. I've only ever banned 1 poster on this forum, but I think it's pretty damn rational and smart to ban Ryo

I know you are fighting back the tears. Don't front.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

On the second, I just don't even know where to begin. I think the Huy is fair simply because he was beaten (mistimed his attacked). Zoncolan, at the 2011 Giro, is a bit of a different story (tactical considerations were such that he was not racing for the stage win but really to crush his competition (toying with Nibbles and Scarponi). By your implication, he races to win ALL MTFs in a GT and if he doesn't win it's because he couldn't. I think he's not as explosive a climber on the shorter, steeper gradients--not the way he is on longer climbs. I don't think you'd get much argument from anyone about that.

Don't get me wrong, and I think Arnout thinks the same, in a mountain stage there is absolutely no one - besides baby Schleck - who can follow him on 13% gradient climbs. No one. That's a fact for me. But, in punchy races like Huy and yesterday he gets beaten time after time. Even by Cadel. Always by Rodriguez.

He should have known it but it´s obvious he didn´t.

I question this, given the fact his team - the former CSC of course - was ever present at the Montjuic race.

But, on the other hand I have noticed this is the kiss Alberto on the budt or stay the hell outta here topic. That's quite open minded. Not directed at those who are not directed. I can see why dopingtalk is not allowed in these threads though, that would be a lot of forumsuspencions given the heated fan'culture'.

By the way Arnout I can understand you don't like me, put me on ignore if you want but please stop being so obvious about not liking me because it's getting more and more annoying.

Really, you should not take things so seriously if someone is discussing your hero.

But, do you allready know the difference between a puncheur and a climber?

 

[icefire]

Categorically untrue. In fact, when he gets beaten, it is in climbs with steep gradients. Zoncolan, Huy, etc.

Hello, Angliru?

Contador attacks where he shouldn't

[The Hitch]

When Contador attacks its not to stay away, its to cause damage.

Like when when Boonen attacks 70k out in Oomlop.

Contador attacks, looks behind, peopel fight to stay with him, and anyone who is weak is going to suffer.

He might then do this another 2,3 or hell as we saw last week even 8 times if neccesary.

I love the man Lol did you see the person at 0.07 grabbing his shoulder, lol everyone want to touch him, they think he is a god

 

[Fidolix]

As Purito pointed out in yesterdays interview: trying to stay with Alberto when he attacks, will only drain your energy...

The google translation sucks, could you possible make a translated version?
Or maybe one of our distinguished spanish speaking members would be so kind?

No, everything is fine, you don't have to worry about me.

Contador

He hasn't race for a while and needs racing in his legs, he is good, competitive and is 3rd on GC but looks nervous because he attacks when he shouldn't do.


Froome

It's the favourite for the ITT but he was struggling at Montjuic, when he passed him he was parked, catched Contador but Purito was impossible.

Vuelta
The galician weather is colder, it's course suits him, he is on good form despite wasn't the plan so he wants to enjoy and try to fight as long as he can. He is enjoying and thinks he is performing well. He thinks this is his best moment of the season and wants to take advantage.

About Cobo he said he is supporting him willingly, holding in the peloton as much as he can to help
