contador is a like a great opera singer and the gt routes are the operas he must perform, like in every opera an tempo attack is immenen. the question is how early, late or long that attack is going to be? and sometimes is not going to reflect just raw power, but style in a dramatic fashion. this year the tour was a mozart piece, the giro in the last few years has been a verissimo piece, and the vuelta this year was a bel canto. contador is the caruso of grand tours.

Much better right now, we are talking about Contador racing against Evans, Wiggo, Andy, Froome etc

good to come here and read so many good things about the "Great one"!!

For now, the things are like they are supposed to be in the cycling word.

The good ones are being celebrated and the bad ones are being punished.

expet for the UCI.

Not at all, there are many Schleck fans on here, and I'm one. They just don't spout the same amount of anti Contador posts that you do. I'm a huge fan of both for what it is worth.

You missed out Froome from your second list, whom you have seemed to have abandoned now again in favour of Andy. But your posts are the same regardless of the 2. I'm certainly leaning to you just having a big personal dislike for Contador for a reason I quite can't see.

Or maybe you just like being contraire, which is getting into troll territory. And I'm getting pretty much bored with it.

I'm sorry if for some forum guys I seem too conflicting. It is not my goal. But what to do? Since I joined the forum, I always had a bit different view of things. Afterall, the fact that we are so different fills the forum up with thoughts.
