4th and final part:

I hear you ask, does AC never have bad legs?

Is he never tired?

Will the setbacks not be too much at one point?

So far not.

What could possibly stop him then? The sky falling on his head maybe?

Nope, cause Alberto Contador always wears a helmet

Thank you very much

No there is no bigger joke behind it. I can see why it would seem that way but the author is sketching absurd situations which may seem funny, to show how crazy Alberto is

AC has just been made a cycling legend

Here is another one:

Superman was flying fast up a climb. he thought someone overtook him. When he reached the top, he saw Contador waiting for him.

[contador977]

That made me think of 2011 Stage 19 at the Giro, when Contador attacked to help pace Tiralongo for his first ever stage win.

My first thought was Fuente De.

My first thought was Fuente De.

It's all going so swimmingly

Let's hope that nobody pulls a Fuente De on Alberto in 2014.

Contador: "If I see an opportunity I'll try"


Cabárceno (Cantabria), 5 sep.- The leader of the 2014 Vuelta, Alberto Contador (Saxo-Tinkoff), has made clear that in the next three stages if you see an opportunity to attack him is to try to increase the advantage to rivals.

"If I see an opportunity, I'll try. Unlike in 2012, which was behind, now I have the peace that lies ahead me and I have more cold blood," he said after his fourth consecutive day with the red jersey.

Contador has said that the next step is complicated and can "change the classification" and that's why he puts it "every day". "It will be so demanding as The Camperona's old port," he stressed.

Despite the physical problems that were about to leave him out of the Tour, the Pinto has been satisfied "by the decision" took.

On the victory of his former teammate Dani Navarro (Cofidis), with which it arose a controversy at the end of San Miguel de Aralar because it came after him, he was pleased and said: "I spoke with him and I've clarified" .

In respect of expected bonuses "are not decisive for the outcome of the Tour because there is sufficient ground." "Besides, I do not come at all well," he added.

Its main objective is to get the final victory in the Tour in Santiago de Compostela, which considers "support to win a stage," the coming days and "is it possible to do."

At about the fitness of that seemed would be his great rival, Britain's Chris Froome (Sky) has pointed out that in San Miguel de Aralar disposed of "a good opportunity to take him away." "I think the next steps will be a danger," he warned.

The stage between Belorado and Cabárceno Park has been stressed out "very fast and that makes people go more just and differences may occur." "Today we have already passed but the next day you can notice," he added. EFE

[Vino attacks everyone]

Wow, Tiralongo is still riding?

He has become Arus body guard on the flats
Only reason he is still racing is that he is Arus training partner and mentor (they spent a month togheter in Sestriere before the Vuelta, training)

[TANK91]

Wow what a moaner Navarro is i may be wrong but when Contador seen Navarro go the other day he did not chase? He was looking around if anything Purito closed it down and Navarro was the pacing Contador probably thinking it was him who done it.
