this is a sign of good things to come; I often heard this type of comment on his glory days :D

"I think there are some very strong riders in this race," he said modestly. "But today I felt good, right from the start of the climb. That gives you confidence and I'm happy because I've been working very hard I get the same sensations that I've felt at camps, where I've worked very hard."

The only problem with Contador riding like this is, that Flo will start posting photos of him in his underwear again.

There is a clip in a recent Riis docu that shows Berto in his underwear in his hotel room :D I have a screenshot if you'd like to see it :p

I'm back to having dreams of Contador humiliating Froome in July and showing that robot what real racing is !

Today's performance= Giro 11:eek:

a masterpiece:eek:

I just caught a replay of the last climb, but he really looked smooth again. Reminded me of the volcano ride. I hope Froome is at his best in July, because Bertie and Kreuziger, Valverde, and Betancur are all flying.

Does anyone know where I can watch highlights? Is it on YouTube anywhere?

Vamos Conti!

It's on SS4 atm (if that helps) just had a quick look I can't find any videos that show you all of it from where TV coverage started which ideally you would want to watch.

A stage for anthology.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the season that already looks very different from the last one.

Congrats to Contador, his ride was amazing.
My eurosport recording showed Paris-Nice and skiing instead :(

I hate Eurosport for this, it has got better recently but every now and again I find one of my Biathlon/cycling recordings ends up being Weightlifting or Touring cars as the schedule changes without notice!

I have a dream that one day on the hills of France our sons and daughters will be able to sit down together and watch Contador soar ahead as if on wings. I have a dream that one day, even Froome, a man of amazing robotic climbing skills, will be transformed into oasis of sluggishness and noncompetetivness. I have a dream that our little children will see Froome completely schooled in the art of real climbing. I have a dream today....I have a dream of Contador climbing every mountain as if it was a tailwind descent. I have a dream of all Contador's competitors struggling on the flattest of roads as if they where mountains. I have a dream....

And that's not even including defending champ Martin.

Also, this one must be a requirement for WT Colombians. Rosters aren't even full yet but so far there's Uran, Betancur, Nairo, Anacona, Arredondo, Atapuma, Acevedo, Chaves, even Sarmiento...just need Henao and porn 'stache to sign up.
