Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

No, no, I hope not! See Gilbert this year
I'd rather see his usual self at the highest place on the podium of any GT next year.

I don't believe in the curse of the rainbow jersey this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for him. He needs to take it with both hands. He will most likely fail, but at least he won't be left wondering what could have been.

Can't see it happening with JRod, Moreno and Valverde on the team

What do you mean? You think he won't win? Or you think he won't be allowed to ride for himself?

He'll just go in a late break, pretend like he's setting up a move for one of the other spanish climbers, then when the peloton has thinned and are closing the gap...he attacks the break and solos in. With the season he's having, they just might let him get a little too much time.

I think so too but I was trying to explain why I want him to ride for himself

 

[murali]

if he is not part of the team, i don't think that i will support spain for the WC

exactly. The course is there for such a win. I hope he can give it a try. The spanish armada will have a multi bullets approach if he joins the team.

To get back on-topic, here this photo from the TdF 2007 ITT. That's Lance's face in the mirror, riding in team car behind Alberto.

ah, 2007 what good times... you know until that false positive test and so forth... Anyways it was the year when a young spaniard signed for Astana and then for the next couple of years winning 1 giro, 1 vuelta and 2 tdfs. good times

 

[LaFlorecita]

Alberto said that he could hear Lance over the radio and that it motivated him even more. That was back when Lance was still his idol.
