Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[LaFlorecita]

besides Jesus is mental support for Alberto. The past year with Alberto's ban they spent around 300 days together and Bjarne gave Jesus a lighter schedule so he could look after Alberto

 

[LaFlorecita]

That was Majka

And Jesus.

 

[Carols]

And Jesus.

And Sergio on Fuente de!!!!

 

[Miburo]

That was Majka

You're serious man? Watch it again...

Obviously majka was a big support and a better support than hernandez but that doesn't mean that hernandez was useless.

Stupid logic.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Jesus was the last man for AC atleast 1 time in the mountains. I am still dissapointed in Navarro though.
Good luck with him Cofidis

 

[xrayvision]

Majka, Jesus, Paulinho and Pires were the main pullers for Alberto during the Vuelta, Navarro again didn´t perform as expected in the mountains, but he didn´t fail either.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I love the tweets from Chris J-J.
Always funny to read.
Nice with good team-spirit on Saxo-Tinkoff

PS! Funny to listen to his Irish-accent English too. Not the usual Danish-accent English.

[Vino attacks everyone]

It is quite amazing that even an AC in a bad January form still has the punch that he has in his accelerations.

Evans and Contador chatting before the first stage. Tour Oman. Cadel seems is shaped.

Cheers for that. Hadn't seen it. Pretty impressive ride by AC.

oh and for those who didn't see it in the Oman race thread:

Niki ‏@NikiTerpstra
Na finish tegen zeg ik tegen Contador:Alber,waarom week je van je lijn af?Ten 1e is het Albertooooo en ten 2e was het maar 0,0005 centimeter

Pretty hilarious but unfortunately only makes sense if your Dutch or Belgian

is there any relation with the "zero comma zero zero zero zero zero...." ?

 

[Forunculo]

I thought the same but Flo discriminate us because we are no Dutch or Belgium (Flemish)

No he's been living under a rock in 2010-2011.

She loves southern europe.

 

[LaFlorecita]

She loves southern europe.

Yes true that but I don't like you because you are not only Eyetalian but also a dodgy Indian.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I will try to explain Niki's tweet

Na finish tegen zeg ik tegen Contador:Alber,waarom week je van je lijn af?Ten 1e is het Albertooooo en ten 2e was het maar 0,0005 centimeter

The underlined doesn't make any sense, a typo I think.

google translate Dutch>English

After finishing to say to Contador: Alber, why week you off your line? For the first and at the second Albertooooo was only 0.0005 inches

Okay that doesn't make any sense

the first part (Na finish zeg ik tegen Contador:Alber,waarom week je van je lijn af?) is literally "after the finish I tell [ask would be better] Contador:Alber why did you deviate from your line? [like during a sprint , they finished 28th and 29th]"

Now the tricky part; there is a Flemish tv series for children which is also popular in the Netherlands, and there is a character called Albert Vermeersch:

The town's best (and only) hairdresser is Albert Vermeersch, alias "Alberto Vermicelli". He doesn't get a lot of customers, so he eats a lot to pass the time. Aside from eating, Albert enjoys singing and is an active participant in the local opera company.

Because he is an opera singer he wants to be called "Alberto Vermicelli" because it sounds Italian. But the main character always calls him Albert but pronounced the French way so it sounds like Alber (pretty much Alberto without -to/ the "er" sound is close to the English word "air")
So Albert/Alberto doesn't like this and always says: "Ten eerste is het Albertoooo en ten tweede ---" which would be "Firstly, it's Albertooooo and secondly ----"

So that part is explained, now the last part

en ten 2e was het maar 0,0005 centimeter

--> And secondly it was just 0,0005 cm [as in I only deviated 0,0005 cm from my line]
which is obviously a joke related to the cero comma cero cero cero cero cero cero cero cero cero cinco

So it's:

After the finish I tell Contador:Alber why did you deviate from your line?[Alberto's reply] Firstly, it's Albertooooo and secondly it was just 0,0005 cm

Ok it's not funny anymore but at least everyone can understand it now

 

[serfla]

Thanks for explanation, Flo.
You're right. It's witty.

A plus for Terpstra in my notebook.

 

[Publicus]

Thanks LaFlo. It was a witty tweet. Well done Terpstra.

What is the 0,00005 story?

 

[LaFlorecita]

What is the 0,00005 story?

50 picogram is cero comma cero cero cero cero cero cero cero cinco gram maybe missing some ceros, search on YouTube "cero cero cero contador" or "zero zero zero contador" you know the clinic story right?
