Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[LaFlorecita]

Paulinho much better tter, almost equal in the mountains. Only reason Hernandez is here is because his is ACs bff

No. Just no.

 

[Publicus]

I wouldn't.

Besides being AC's training partner, he's a relative liability during a GT. certainly in comparison to Paulhino. I'd think differently if the team had fewer climbers, but based upon their lineup, I think they are covered. Nothing says he can't ride with the team and be there for moral support for AC.

I'm sure Riis will figure it out

Unconditional support and loyalty is what Alberto needs. And a roommate.

Check Hoggie's posts about Alberto in the di luca thread in clinic. pretty awesome.

What about his bodyguard Noval?

a well paid hooker should do the trick

Noval is useless

a well paid hooker should do the trick

Wtf? he is married

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Wtf? he is married

His wife will be ok as long as she got the control over the bank account

Wtf well she agreed to marry him before he was rich so lol

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Wtf well she agreed to marry him before he was rich so lol

And she did not divorce BECAUSE of the money

 

[LaFlorecita]

And she did not divorce BECAUSE of the money

Pff she would be stupid if she did that... thousands of other ladies out there ready to pounce she's lucky

 

[Cimber]

No. Just no.

Yes actually

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yes actually

what do you mean, yes actually?

That Vino was spot on. Overall Paulinho would be a better pick but Jesus is Bertie's best bud so hé is in. With him on board they are basically doing a 8 man TTT. Hé is fine in the mountains but thats it.

So what? 8 or 9, it's not a big difference. Saxo will lose time anyway, 40 seconds or 45, what does it matter.

Besides as I said Jesus will support Alberto unconditionally. And Jesus is a better climber than Paulinho. I believe Jesus is a better pick.

It matters alot. And Paulinho will support Bertie unconditionally too. They all will

 

[LaFlorecita]

Of course not. If Alberto can't win the tour with Jesus he wouldn't win it with Paulinho either.

Besides Jesus is on the team. That isn't gonna change. So the question is would Alberto want another climber (Paulinho) or a strong guy for on the flat (Morkov, Tosatto, Bennati, Noval ). I guess the latter would be the smartest. 2 domestiques for the flat stages isn't gonna do the trick.

And Paulinho will support Bertie unconditionally too. They all will

I doubt it.

I've always said Berto was poetry in motion on the bike

This was especially interesting:
'The only criticism is he pulls his head to the left on big efforts. But that may more due to his brain injury than anything.'

That left tilt is his tell, wonder if it is really due to the brain injury. Interesting theory!

Of course hé is on the team. This is a theoretical discussion about what would best. Personally I think both will be on the team

 

[LaFlorecita]

I'm not that into theoretical discussions

I can't see how a brain injury could cause one's head to tilt to one side so I guess it's just BS from Hog

Quoting the hog for truth is like quoting airstream. The posts are only ever designed to troll somebody.

 

[contessador]

I just stepped in here to say I like the Pistol shot celebration! he is a bad boy and it fits him hehehe... attack on the arcalis - pow, pow...

and yes, Contador is poetry in motion on his best form!

 

[LaFlorecita]

The pistol is lame as is his nickname and Alberto is defo not a bad boy
