Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[Malmeren]

He needs three more. One tour and two giros. Then he will have won all three GTs three times...

only 1 giro...

you are welcome

 

[LaFlorecita]

Damn if he got one more giro that would be seriously impressive is there anyone who won all 3 GTs 3 times? I thought Hinault was the only one with 2 wins in all 3 besides Alberto

 

[18-Valve. (pithy)]

If Alberto gets ten (which is still a big if) Hinault can just say Alberto actually has 8.

Sure, he'd probably SAY that, but I don't think there are too many former GT champions who think so, when they're honest with themselves. Maybe LeMond.
Maybe. I think Hinault was thrilled that Nibali won. Just a gut feeling.

Yeah, he was, but who cares about that.

Why do you guys count the tour 2010? he clearly got caught, don't be butthurt cause of it. The giro 2011 is imo bull****, that was his but not the tour 2010.

 

[Miburo]

Yay! CONGRATULATIONS CONTADOR! A few weeks ago, who knew?

Amazing achievement.

Anyone who knows Contador knew it.

"I only race to win".

So I'm butthurt because I have a different opinion than you?

He won the 2010 Tour just like Landis won in 2006 and Lance the years before that.

That's my account too: Tour 2010 is Schleck's, he tested positive and even though they couldn't prove it was doping it's still a forbidden substance. Giro 2011 is joke: they let him race and then take away a race where he was head and shoulders above everyone else. I'm sure Scarponi feels like a GT winner.

You're wrong about all these things then, that simple. Many are butthurt, maybe not you, you're just wrong.

People are acting like someone stole contador's 2010 tour victory, no one did. Contador ****ed up, what exactly happened. Idk but he ****ed up, that simple, just like landis ****ed up.

For some that's hard to understand.

WTF

Words cannot describe how little sense you make.

 

[LaFlorecita]

^clearly Schleck is the winner here



What are we gonna say then? He won 7 because he did win the 2011 Giro but didn't win the 2010 Tour?

Sheesh. You either go for the official account or not. It's 6 or 8, not 7. You can't say he won 2 Giro and 2 TDF. it's either 1 Giro and 2 TDF or 2 Giro and 3 TDF.

Or maybe he got 6 because the 2011 Giro does count but the 2010 and 2007 Tour don't? He got 2 Giro and 1 TDF?

 

[Malmeren]

only 1 giro...

you are welcome

Oh I agree. The books don't, though...

 

[LaFlorecita]

very nice !!

 

[LaFlorecita]

who cares about the books.

Alberto doesn't

 

[Arnout]

He does or he wouldn't make that statement.

 

[LaFlorecita]

He does or he wouldn't make that statement.

Obviously he is ****ed off two of his GT wins were taken away

What I meant is that he does not care what the books say, he knows which races he won

 

[Futuroscope]

He will, most likely, soon have 8 GT victories.

 

[Jack_89]

I see rumors about Giro 2015. It seems mildly simple: only last week is hard with many MTF and hard stages.

i think double is possible

 

[T-Nielsen]

Contador must be edging ever close to a coffeebrand sponsorchip.

 

[Jspear]

who cares about the books.

Alberto doesn't

I wonder since there is no ceremonious stage, if AC will raise his hands in the air after the time trial and show how many gt's he has won....I hope he does....We need an updated photo to help people who have a hard time counting his wins.

Giro 2011 style, hands in the air at the end of the TT

 

[Red Rick]

Contador is so awesome that even if you take into account that 2 of his GT's have been taken away, he's still won twice the amount of GT any other active rider

He is just that good
