Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

This. Andy didn't have any bad luck during that Tour. It was the opposite.

Very lucky that Fabian neutralized the Spa stage.

Very lucky in the cobbles stage.

Poor shifting skills in the Bales stage.

...

Andy was lucky to end up so close to Contador. Yet he still lost.

And even more than all this, Andy became the winner thanks to Contador's misfortune.
What a lucky brat he is.

On Tourmalet the victory was already a sure thing.

In hindsight it was not that sure a thing.

Yes it was

Or do you think there was any chance that Andy would beat Alberto in an ITT

No, I am saying that he ended up not being the winner of that Tour

Ever heard of a bad day? Legs not rolling no matter how fresh you feel. To set up a common parameter for 2 athletes after 3 weeks of battle and then compare their results just shows a huge amount of ignorance to the sport.

You know air, just course you dont like the guy, doesnt change the dynamic of the sport try stay objective, otherwise you continue to embarrass your self.

As far as I can understand objectivity is ability to look into the things in a many-sided complex way. Iow, we should look into account all one's perfomances rather than best of them. If we base on one's 1-2-3 best racing days like equilibrium, we collide with million of dogmas like 'Rider A could finish better than rider B only 'cuz rider B was much weaker than in his prime' which derails any robust discussion.

I am back now. Very nice picture. But I am confused Alberto moved to Lugano? Together with Jesus? Wut?

Maybe he and Jesus have more than just a professional relationship

Ok I just checked the address posted earlier in this thread and apparently it's a hotelso either this is just temporarily or the address is wrong because surely he has enough money to buy a house.

Maybe he's writing it off as a business expense.

Parrulo told in this thread that Bjarne Riis lives in Lugano. So Tax and Work reasons

That's a good point

Ok but if you are really going to move somewhere why not bring your wife Jesus and Alberto living together in a hotel room and they left their family, friends,(I guess it's hard to bring them) wives,dogs etc etc all in spain. Lol

 

[LaFlorecita]

try youtube (doubt it's on there though) or spam some spanish twitter fans of contador for a possible link.

One thing I do admire about Contador is he look's after his doms, J.Hernandez probably would not be WT without Contador would he?, what happened with D.Navaro I always though he was his main dom, did they have a break down in relathionship or something.

Dani thinks he's able to ride for his own chance so he moved to cofidis.

And a team leader taking care of his main dom is not something new in cycling.

In my view such a relative financial carelessness plays an evil joke with Hernandez racing qualities. In the past he was stronger.

Are you kidding me? Last year in la Vuelta and this year he was stronger than ever.

Vice versa,he is becoming stronger and stronger

Hernandez was only good in Oman. He sucked in the other races
