I actually find it a bit silly how he went from being 'big bad Alberto Contador who first stole Michael Rasmussen's Tour win, then made it impossible for Andy to win the tour, even attacking as Andy's chain went off!'
to 'Amazing Alberto Contador who is going to win the Tour for us, and whose 2010 Tour win was given to evil traitor Andy Schleck.' :rolleyes:

Shows the irrationality of supporting a team just because its manager and sponsor are from a certain country. Especially when the team's leaders have always been foreigners.

Considering next year's Tour, Millar offers an intriguing insight. "I don't think anyone can beat Contador. He's just so good. But Chris Froome is the only guy Contador is scared of. I've spoken to Contador about it and that's good because he's never been scared of anyone. He watched Chris climb at the Tour and you saw how hard Contador raced from the start at the Vuelta [Tour of Spain]. He was racing to get rid of Chris because he was scared of him. That's going to make it a great race.

He's one of the people who truly understand Contador's greatness ;)

He's btw completely right. Contador was for example never scared of AS.

Froome is different, and if Contador would have lost the vuelta it would because of Froome. He was paying too much attention on Froome.

In all honesty if Contador is 100% it's all futile, no one can do anything.

And all who disagree don't know **** of cycling, at least that's what i think. But ok we haven't seen Froome going really all out so i'll give Froome a chance.

Rest should pull out a Wiggins, and ride the giro :D

1) Contador paid a BIT of attention to Froome in the Vuelta and crushed him uphill andput him in his place in the ITT;

2) Agreed, 100% Contador, game over;

3) The only rider out there on form that scares Contador is Andy Schleck. Anyone who gives Froome a chance with an in form Contador and Schleck, is basing this on what??

At next years Tour it's going to be cowboys (more specifically the cowboys pistols) vs. Aliens in real life :D. Of course we all know how that battle ended...

Correct ferryman, the only guy that has shown himself to be able to match Contador in the last few years has been Schleck. We haven't seen how a in-form Froome handles against a really strong climber like Contador, so until we do he is a bit of a mystery.

i saw it live back then but if you search "contador el hormiguero" you should be able to find it.

he also enters the show at the sound of the danish anthem but i doubt the new generation of cycling experts would know why.

I found it holy crap this is freakin hilarious
