Me too. i'm so excited and anxious
Do you really think Olga will let him ride the Giro and have no chance in the Tour after the classics fiasco of the team?
Re: Re:
That was just an off season attention seeking narrative. And if he was serious, he certainly has realized it's impossible. Especially after the March.

Re:
well with less win up to now, no classic winning on every of their target classic so far, as usual, the pressure is back on Contador to deliver a win. I don't know if in Ardennes the team will be competitive. Who's going to be the leader? Matti crashed out today. Majka? Kreuziger? he is in the dog house with those hearings. Sagan?

Re: Re:
More like, Amstel - Kreuziger, Fleche - Kreuziger, Liege - Kreuziger. Sagan isn't scheduled to start AGR.Velolover2 said:

Re: Re:
Had a feeling he would have to start the Teide training soon as it's only a few weeks until the Giro.

“He is a pretty hard nut to crack. He is a hard one. It’s certainly much better to have one over him than none. That’s going to be to Richie’s advantage. But let’s see what sort of Contador arrives at the Giro. We saw a couple of grand tours where he turned up more than unbeatable. He is not quite the rider he was five years ago, but still he is still a hard nut to crack. It is difficult to argue he is not the same grand tour rider in this current generation.”

Re:
there. corrected the mistake.
basically, Evans wud love Porte to win. but he thinks Porte is of the same level as Uran and Aru. basically, that translates as "not at the same level as Contador". the last line, he uses double negative. that's the closest Evans is going to come to accept that Contador is going to own this giro.

Evans better not pick up philosophy. "It is the case that P. However, we also have that P is not the case".
In all fairness though, despite him clumsily managing to contradict himself in the span of two sentences, what he probably meant is that Contador is still a level above everyone at the Giro even if he is not as great a rider as he once was. Might be somewhat self serving, as Evans competed with prime Contador, rather than his current, downgraded version.

To be fair we are talking about Evans there. I'm amazed he actually managed to string the sentences together this time.

Re:
and Berto still spanked Cuddle's ass uphill
SeriousSam said:
Yes, I think that's what he was trying to say.
2007 Contador is hardly prime Contador
and Berto still spanked Cuddle's ass uphill Kreuziger's date for CAS hearing is 10th of June.
So Kreuziger going to ride the Giro i guess? Would be important for Contador to have a super dom, even if Kreuziger haven't looked that strong since his suspension last year.

Hard to argue what contador's prime in climbing was. Tour '09, i had the feeling he could have rode minutes away from andy in the mountains but he only tried once really so you can't say for sure.
