According to Riis its still up in the air. He throws in the possibility that, if he starts, will hunt stages instead of GC (would be strange to see Berto as a JRod in the Tour)

YAY !!

Contador doing the Vuelta ...

 

[SafeBet]

Great news
Don't know if he will have the form to go for the GC but I'm sure we'll be entertained!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Awesome! I'm sure he'll be up there in the end.

 

[ILovecycling]

You are freakin beast!God bless you.

Vamos Alberto Contador!!!

 

[jens_attacks]

here we go...i hope he has chosen the best for his health and not his fans. he's still very, very skinny.
anyway,time to find a new avatar

vamos grande!

 

[inthepink]

Going for stage wins...maybe best to take off the pressure
However if he can get through the first 10 days without losing much time ...who knows could be there in the end

Imagine Froome will attack early like on on stage 6 , etc

Great to see 3 best GC riders at the moment in the one race

Best team without a doubt is Movistar

 

[arvc40]

Booooooooooooom !

 

[farrapona]

Didn´t expect that. But with Contador you never know. Tells a thing and does completely the opposite.

If he´s in good condition, he has to be considered as the favourite.

 

[gerundium]

Vamos Berto! great news to see him participating in the Vuelta. I don't really care either way if he wants to go for GC or for stages, both are fine by me. I think he will be very motivated and should give some great spectacle in the race!

Oh yes oh yes he is riding La Vuelta.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Great news, this should be the best GT of the year. If he can hold on during the first half of the race while he gets his fitness back he could still be a threat in the final week.

 

[Red Rick]

YEAH *****, The Great One is in

 

[LaFlorecita]

Not sure if this is a good idea, but there's only 1 way to find out

 

[sulgpallur]

Contador is gonna drop them with 1 leg One can hope

 

[jens_attacks]

vamos albertooo!

 

[Pentacycle]

Nice!! Let's hope Alberto has some good sensations...

 

[Miburo]

The knee bandage is all a trick, he's ready lol

Anyway give credit to the guy on twitter who said AC was training, he clearly wans't lying.

I don't believe he's gonna go just for a stage win, if he had that form he wouldn't ride the vuelta.

 

[No_Balls]

Legend. What a ****ing legend. And whats up with the whining that he'll might lose? Sure, thats always a possibility but he is there for the fight and wont shy

Just when you thought the man couldnt be bigger. The pistolero from Pinto is back

 

[Taxus4a]

I have always said here Contador will be at La Vuelta and with a good condition.
I am happy to be right becouse is important for the race.

He has now the excuse if he cant be on the podium, it s what he was looking for, but he has been training one month before the Vuelta and he is more fresh than people as Valverde, that is for me the reality

Well, it is confirmed that he will be there. His condition on the other hand ... we will see about that one. I doubt, he can go for more than a stage in the last week. But I would be happy, if I'm wrong.

 

[Jack_89]

There were too many clues that suggested good for the ride. and now that he will only run to win and and evidently feels himself to be in good shape to do it. Come ob Berto , we are all with you
