Impressed by berto.

I didn't expect an intermediate like that

Impressed too.

I'm happy that i wrong my prediction but more because he ride a fabulous ITT

 

[arvc40]

Boooooooom !. Strong as an ox !

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

great ride AC!

I wish we could see him in a flatdecently long tt before the tour though

 

[Jspear]

Milburo called it. Contador to notch his 3rd Tour de France title this July.

Sure thing! Great ride today!

 

[Carols]

Awesome ride from Alberto Now if he has flat ITT under control July will be a real battle

 

[Jelantik]

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's officially confirmed.

HE IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bring on christmas on July...

I was on the edge of my seat. Wow, wow, wow. Great ride by Contador. He must be itching to say something yesterday on his interview, I bite what he said, and getting nervous since he seemed very concern about kwiat.

Now time to recon cobble stage

If Miburo right on his call all the way to TDF, we should all chip in to buy him a nice bottle of wine..

4th!!!!!

Another thing demostrate that he is not like last year: the fact that he keeps a great form for 2 months !

2 in Algarve
1 in TA
2 in Catalunya
1 in PV

this fact in very incredible and he never had a bad day in that period

 

[Jelantik]

can someone translate what contador said?

Man, this is getting really interesting. Stephen de Jongh doing miracles. And let's not forget Oleg and his motivational twitters. Oh and Bjarne, a new man happy to concentrate only on cycling now. Froome is banging his head against the wall while my man Vincenzo probably threw the television set out the window from a hotel at altitude in Tenerife. Fun days ahead!

 

[BYOP88]

D...Bertie really is finding his best form once again. If this carries on July might be interesting!

 

[Bavarianrider]

Honestly i am a bit disapointed with Contador. Thought he would dominate today.
He isn't quiet where he needs to be. With this time trialing he'll loose 2 minutes to a fully charged Froome in the final Tour TTial.

 

[The Hitch]

lol some froome fan wrote into eurosport angry that they said Contador was a good tter, saying he absolutely isn't and has never done well in a flat tt.

That is quite a valid comment.......if you started watching cycling in 2012

 

[King Boonen]

I seem to remember suggesting he was soft pedaling at TA and everyone got all uppity...

 

[Jspear]

That is quite a valid comment.......if you started watching cycling in 2012

If someone says he has NEVER done well in a flat tt than it's not a valid comment. They need to be able to back up a comment like that if they state it....it doesn't matter when they started watching.

Yep you're right.

Link?

Bottoms up

 

[Jspear]

You know you can hardly tell he is wearing the yellow jersey....it just matches with his tinkov kit so well....he'll be the natural pick for overall win at the Tour.

 

[BYOP88]

If Saxo-Tinkoff changed their kit like ONCE did in the Tour, I might root for Saxo

 

[ILovecycling]

Great ride by Berto!
Still we dont know if he is in 09 like form.This tt was tailor made for him.
On the other hand i dont fvcking care if Froome gives him a minute in panflat tt,coz i want to see Rasmussen PtB or Schleck Tourm like battle and Berto crushing Sky and Froome into tiny little pieces to show those english 'experts' or rather ignorants who started to watch cycling in 2012 what cycling is really about...mano a mano battles,mind games,poker faces,feelings,sensations,brain and elegant style on the bike.

Hard work and dedication during preparation Alberto.And good luck on cobbles!

 

[arvc40]

Yep you're right.

Nah that's bollox. By the time they get to that TT, Froome will know that he has been in a race !. Froome will not drop Contador this year !.

 

[Angliru]

If Saxo-Tinkoff changed their kit like ONCE did in the Tour, I might root for Saxo

As long as it's not pink I'm all in.

 

[Beech Mtn]

As long as it's not pink I'm all in.

This raises an interesting question, because you'd think the kit would likely be blue. But then TdF is the huge publicity opportunity of the year, so I can't imagine Oleg would want to just reverse colors and highlight the Saxo logo over his own bank.

Maybe he can do them up in flag colors, make them all look the current Russian national RR champions.
