Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Coolair2970]

Really, you wouldn't like to see a Vino as DS commanding AC and Nibbles to attack Quintana, Pinot and Froome up the very last mountainsage of the 2015 tdf in a desperate atempt to stop the 3 year Froome dominance? An attack that would be remembered to be more lethal than both WWs combined

Froome won't be around in 3 years time.

 

[Coolair2970]

Okay working for Bjarne, that is even better

What would he do if he doesn't stay in cycling? He is basically uneducated, yes? Open a restaurant?

Who gives a f''' he's got a millions in the bank or he can become partner with Basso and grow blueberries

That blade was broken and it has not yet been remade.

So far, only whispers.

What blade? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nbxa3TeeyQ&NR=1&feature=endscreen

We cannot decide on that just yet. We have to wait a few more years.

Alberto working for a teammate in order to help him win Paris-Nice? Sure why not.

Alberto working for someone he doesn't like in order to help him reach podium in TDF. Why the hell would he do that?

Then please let's just wait until then, the last thing we really want is to have you going up and down with majka same way you do it with AC

I'm not really that emotionally invested in Majka.

 

[gatete]

I'm not really that emotionally invested in Majka.

Mmm. Sorry then if I seem to be too harsh, I have seen a bit of interest coming from you towards this rider, by the way is not of my business who yo choose to root for, I have that absolutely clear but just to have a little bit of tranquility I asked you to wait but you don't have to.

If Riis can get freaking Petrov in shape Contador should be no problem

Petrov doing pretty well in GC

Two guys getting WT points for Saxo in one race? I can't see it happening I'm happy with Majka not crashing out of the race anyway.

 

[ThirdWorld]

I can not believe what I am reading here... Are you guys with memory problem?!

Alberto is the great one, so much greatness did not disapear in the air... he will be flying in July, making all of us happy! There will be party in every corner here!

What are you getting at? Contador can't lose because he is the great one?

 

[Red Rick]

Does this stuff mean we can call Froome Gollum?

 

[xrayvision]

Of course he can lose, he´s just a man, not a machine.

I guess the great one refers to his 7 GT wins, which is fair and well deserved.

 

[Miburo]

No you can't, that name is preserved.

 

[Carols]

He is the Witch King of Angmar

 

[The Hitch]

It simply refers to the fact that he is the great cyclist of his time. Doesn't matter if it's 10 gts or just 2.

Don't you think Canc comes close?

IMO it's Canc, and Contador.

Honorable mention: Boonen.

Just to make sure netserk don't go crazy

Of course it does. But I know what you mean

Sorry, but that's just subjective.

And the fact that I sympathise with the premise is irrelevant also - that's just my subjective opinion too. If you were to say "the most talented" cyclist of his time, I would agree wholeheartedly. But, then, that isn't a statement of fact, but one of opinion.

Cycling is a sport not an art. You don't have to sell paintings to be a great artist (vide Van Gogh). You do have to win races to be a great cyclist.

after this date, SATURDAY - JULY 6TH, you will know what I am getting at.

 

[Le Baroudeur]

No you can't, that name is preserved.

I thought DB was Ugluk, Froome Snaga, and Wiggo Garbag?
