Why all the fuzz around Albeardo?

why not? haha

it's because he usually looks so smooth

So Rogers, Basso, Hernandez, Bennati, Tosatto for the Giro ...and Rogers, Majka, Kiserlovski, Sagan do the Tour.
Sagan on his own of course (mostly).
Rest to be announced and crashes or injuries might change the plan.

Rogers, Basso, Hernandez are the key teammates for Alberto in the Giro. Majka, Kiserlovski and Rogers in the Tour for the mountains.
I suspect that Bennati and Tosatto also do the double? In the Tour every teammate is important...on the flat and on the climbs.

Also Kreuziger in Tdf if he will not get banned....

Kreuziger,Majka,Kiserlovski,Rogers in mountains...

I think Basso is looking sharp. Perhaps there will be a leadership dispute this may

Interestingly enough shaved arms save 19s over 40km

& it seems the riders know because since 2013 Alberto races with shaved arms

Contador doesn't anyone in the giro. If he stays on his bike, he'll destroy them all and they'll give up immediately.

Yeah but its easier to have good team for Giro so he can just scare everyone into submission and win.

Is Alberto trying to pull a "Luca Paolini" look nowadays?

 

[Red Rick]

He's got more hair on his chin than Froome on his whole body.

Winning Giro-Tour with full beard >> winning triple obviously

Just watching Alberto making Andy losing the 2011 Tour on Alpe d' Huez, crazy all out ride

Had Andy cooperated with Alberto he could have won the Tour

I'm not sure, really long valley the one to the Alpe and a decently organized chase behind... I hated Rolland that day but what a souplesse!

Of course, but he either should have gone for it or stayed with Evans. His weak turns didn't earn him anything and only cost him energy

Agreed but it's just a typical Schleck indecision

Did you see his latest tweet

I have now. Even his beard is neat. And yet…no thanks, Berto. Beards are for dwellers of Middle Earth or Game of Thrones, if we must have them at all.

Teams sound okay - when will hear about Kreuziger?

 

[Dedelou]

Definitely out of my price range!

Or mine. But glad to see somebody paid the price for a good cause and walk away with a legend's bike..

Westeros only is the continet with the 7 kingdoms and the Wildlings, the big continent across the narrow see is called Essos.

Didn't Contador use to be the Lord of Saxobank, the Greatest of the Nine? Dunno what to make of that now

Bjarne Riis has yet to reveal his deadliest servant. The one who will lead the Danish armies in war. The one they say no living man can drop. Alberto Contador of Pinto. You've met him before. He stabbed Andy's chain at Port de Bales. He is the lord of Saxobank, the greatest of the Nine.

That's the one, the most epic overhyping sentence that was ever posted on this forum. Maybe its time for a little update, or at least bring it back
