[Dazed and Confused]

I would say Contador is getting closer to Vuelta '12 form after the performance on stage 16.

what I found a bit weird wa staht porte had some good kicks in getting contador down and froome either couldn't or didnd't want to follow

If you are attacking on the descents like Contador and crash, you shouldn't whine when others don't wait for you

Whine? A sarcastic thumbs up right in the middle of the action is whining? No, look at Froome's comments. Schleck's comments in 2011. That is whining.

 

[TANK91]

Again about Froome. TANK91, this is the Alberto Contador discussion thread

Again La Flo stop bringing Froome up in this thread, why do you think I said it. It's because you know if it was other way round you would have been going no way Dawg kick im of the TDF.

 

[TANK91]

you said sky would tear down ventoux, well they didn't only froome did

No it was Porte who made the selection, he got it down to 3.

exactly. if froome crashed contador wouldn't have waited either

3, yes, but porte wasn't anywhere near 2nd best climber as in ax 3 domaines as was suggested here.

Difficult to deduct anything from such a climb (and stage in general) where wheelsucking has big benefits.

In any case the action did surprise some riders further down the ladder.

He was complainig a lot in the interview I saw on ITV4 lastnight (admittedtly translated)

You are the one who is constantly on about Froome in this thread. That is OFF TOPIC. Take it to the Froome thread.

Was Froome who was whining - he thought that Contador was descending 'recklessly' and yet he followed directly behind (despite holding such a lead over him) then it is Froome who is reckless.

Or they were both whining. Or do you have to take a side?

They werent whining about the same thing do, and not both of them felt the urge to make a fool of themselves on twitter

I don't believe Contador was whining, he had a complaint (which I don't agree with), if it helps you to think that I've taking sides (though I know not why) then fair enough.

 

[wwabbit]

Obviously, when your favorite rider makes a comment it is a complaint, and when your hated rider makes a comment it is whining.

Can we all just agree on this and move on to the next topic?

Take that to Froome thread, Contador was whining about others not waiting after his crash which was caused by his reckless descending, nothing else.

I saw it in the interview on ITV4 last night.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I think it might be something to do with the ongoing movistar-contador feud. And as hitch said, perhaps Contador was hurt and needed a punching bag. It was wrong either way.

He lost his front wheel, he didn't run wide or miss judge a corner so not so reckless and I saw the interview and he didn't whine, he said that Quintana went to the front when he fell, these things happen, it's nothing, just a racing incident.

Can't you get over that the sun does not always shine out of Contador's rear, he descended recklessly and crashed and then moaned that they did not wait for him with a problem entirely of his own making, a racing incident yes, one that they should wait for no.

contador didn't descend recklesly at all. even mollema said after the finish that contador descended with forc,e but contador didn't went full. simply testing the waters. that froome can barely follow that and gets scared is his problem

Contador crashed on the descent and in the heat of the race complained about Quintana taking the front, after the race in the interview you watched he said “everyone has his own tactics” and that “it’s nothing, just a racing incident.” The only person who has to some extent admitted to descending recklessly was Froome himself.

Btw I am not a Contador fan and have already said that in my opinion Contador was wrong to blame Quintana.

 

[murali]

where is this news about Contador whining coming from?

I think there must be some means to ban Froome-boys from posting in this thread.

Darn I would like to see/hear what he said myself. If he was upset that they didn't wait then he is incorrect IMO. Heck even Roman didn't wait LOL! But those quotes don't seem to indicate being upset at least not to me. So it must be the Way it was said if people think it is whining.
