Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[ILovecycling]

First shots from the neutral zone have one Alberto Contador leading the peloton Looking resplendent in highly visible new kit Froome cruises up to join him. The crowds are enormous!

yep,Le Tour is here

 

[Alcanelo]

Cmon Contador! Buzzing for this tour...hoping Nibbles and Contador fight it out with Froome ****ting himself for three weeks looking for his teammates down the road

Tinkov you brilliant troll you. Seeing the kit on the road I notice in the right light, the new kits look the exact same shade of yellow. But it's a fluo color (which you only notice in darker light), so they can't claim it too similar to the yellow jersey. Simply brilliant.

Honestly I thought they had switched back to their usual kit.

Froome vs Contador, 1:0

 

[webvan]

What happened? Other than Kyrienka not able to keep up earlier in the stage?

 

[Bushman]

Froome vs Contador, 1:0

Im sure Contador has suffered a massive blow mentally now that Froome beat him a flat, chaotic stage. Will he even recover in time for the mountains?

 

[fantomas]

Ha ha, nice!

 

[webvan]

Michelle Cound ?

 

[Sciocco]

Yep jerseys certainly look better in the pack. Looking forward to comparing them versus the actual yellow jersey tomorrow. Could ASO force further color changes?

Lolz. Surreal that we're now even comparing them on flat stages.

Compare them tomorrow, if i know Contador then he'll do something.

Just admit to being surprised and frightened at Froome's famed sprinting abilities. The man can really do it all.

Yeah I was very impressed with Mick's sprint too.

i'm surprised and frightened that the main gc favorite would jeopardize his tour by participating in that sprint. what a dummy

Rogers looked like a captain today. Always first 15-20 positions and keeping Alberto out of trouble. Very composed , seemingly effortless. I think he is in great shape right now.
Roche showed he's in great shape at Route du Sud. Majka will ride himself into condition for the Alps.

Kiryenka seemed to suffer. Hasn't shown anything this year. I think Kiryenka and Lopez are key figures for team SKY. If they are not in good form, Thomas Nieve and Porte will have to set the pace very early. Or chase depending on race situation.

Tomorrow will be interesting. If the race goes hard and Alberto feels good, he might try something.

I have a hard time being impressed by someone who is beaten by Mick Rogers the great sprinter honestly.

Big Mick recently beat Valverde in a sprint, you know.

That was a uphill sprint.

 

[ILovecycling]

Do you know who was that saxo rider who was dropped on last climb?

It was Majka...
