Rory riding Dauphiné

Rory Sutherland ‏@rorysutherland1 14m
@dailystews see you at Dauphine!

So after Catalunya and Pais Vasco he will support Contador at the Dauphiné too. Hope that means he'll get a Tour spot.

I think it tells us that - Yes!:)
I think that Roche goes for Vuelta no?
 
Realized this today.

Aru says in an interview "Admiro a Contador, que es un gran campeón"

Barguil called himself a fan of Contador on Twitter and in an interview.

I thought that was cool but it's hardly surprising. When they were just getting serious about their pro career Berto started his domination.

Just something I realized :)

Looking good.:cool: Can't remember the last time I've seen him this skinny:eek: 2008 maybe?
 
Contador peaked at the 2011 Giro and was very clearly not himself any more after. I didn't get any clues that he would be beating Froome in this year's Tour, and with Froome's super strong team, I think it will be very hard.

AC in this years TA and in Basque country was much stronger than what he has been in years. I think it is a higher possibility this year than last year atleast

Any chance you have been living under a stone during the last few months:confused: He caused death and destruction in TA and PV

Froome is the best though, im sorry it is that hard to accept. This is Froome's time not Contador's time.

Why don't you wait till after the TDF to make such a biased statement? Just because he won last year's Tour doesn't mean it's his time. We have't seen the best of Contador vs the best of Froome yet. And btw, in 2014 it's Contador-Froome 1-0 ;)
