Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

You missed the point, and you dont know shyt about me so move on pls.

I did not miss the point. I just made a comment about your attitude on this forum in general.
Anyways point proven with your "you don't know shyt about me". lol.

 

[Kwibus]

ban me? jeeeez stop the trolling, the only one getting banned here is you patron. And maybe its just time to put you on ignore, so do me a favor just do the same. I dont have time for stupid people.

Point proven again. It's pathetic really. Insulting people non stop.

It's besides the fact if people agree or not with Butterhead, but he's just an offensive guy with little rational. Not sure why it's allowed on this forum which is becoming less and less civilized and more and more a playground for flaming and trolling. Oh well.

A sad and yes glorious reminder what triumph over adversity is all about for him. His cycling life is such a jeweled necklace of brilliant victories and somber challenges. Why we keep on cheering him

For those who don't understand the article or quite know what happened without the obvious could anyone care to explain the specifics?

In 2004, during the Vuelta a Asturias, he got a seizure and collapsed on the road. He was taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a broken jaw because of the crash (wtf?). They let him go home and two weeks later he got a seizure again, and this time the doctors found a congenital vascular disorder in his head, a cerebral cavernoma. He had to decide whether he wanted a risky surgery, or spend the rest of his life with someone by his side because of the risk of seizures. He chose the surgery, but he was scared he would never be able to walk again, especially because his little brother is bound to a wheelchair with cerebral palsy, and has the mind of a 1 year old. But he recovered, and won a whole lot afterwards. The end

Horrible clip of the moment he fell

From Wiki:

During the first stage of the 2004 Vuelta a Asturias he started to feel unwell, and after 40 kilometers he fell and went into convulsions. He had been suffering from headaches for several days beforehand and was diagnosed with a cerebral cavernoma, a congenital vascular disorder, for which he underwent risky surgery and a recovery to get back on his bike. As a result of the surgery, he has a scar that runs from one ear to the other over the top of his head.

Wow, his spirit is truly admirable, a true fighter

 

[the sceptic]

I almost forgot that. Contador is really lucky that he got a 100% recovery.

If anyone is wondering what he is up to these days...

So Dreadfully Scary. Thank Goodness Alberto is well and wowing us

I'm sure you've probably seen it. But hey.. it's kinda nice to hear Tinkoff Saxo youngster tried to mimic "The Great One" style of climbing. I hope he didn't spill the beans behind contador's recipe of explosive salsa pedal dancing.

It's easy to forget about what happened to him without the media constantly reminding us how great and amazing his comeback is. I mean that's what the media and everyone did when it was about Armstrongs amazing recovery.
Contador himself went through some serious crap as well, but it never gets mentioned.

Sorry for the rant

Love Contador! Show us your fighters spirit this TdF!

I know it´s the Alberto thread, but to me it´s as much the Tinkoff - Saxo thread as well.

Anyway, I read what I think is an interesting article on Tinkoff website, interesting to read how they optimize in every aspect they possible can.

No, its an informative article about a sponsor product...-what is the difference? none, you missed the point.

You can call it what you want, just sorry to see you missed the point entirely.

It's the new Sky training regime.. you gotta feel sorry for Bertie. Word has it he only ate salads in the off season, not one single juicy steak, not even on his birthday

We won't be feeling sorry for him when he's on the top step of the podium in Paris!
