I love the Giro and I like the idea of Contador riding it again. That said I am a tad disappointed that we wont get to see a 100% Froome vs a 100% Contador.

Unless Froome decides to do the Giro as well I think it would be better to do Giro/Vuelta, if Contador indeed does insist on doing the Giro.

Looks like we are gonna see a 100% Froome vs a 85% Contador and we all know how that will end.
there is a strong possibility we wouldnt see 100% vs 100% anyway, so why risk/waste another season of our hopes.

bolded: no,we dont ;):)

Was 2013 a 75% AC?

Obviously he'll go to the Giro with a condition of 80%: 'cause the first two weeks will not be too hard so he'll try to defend or control others.
In the last hard week ,instead, Berto will attack to win supported by a better shape.

In doing so he participates relatively ''fresh'' in TdF, very close to the best condition.

My opinion :cool:

Doesn't he have a problem with the allergies during the spring?
Plenty of excuses at his disposal to skip the Giro at the end.

Sounds more like your own personal fantasy than anything steeped in reality.

So you're afraid... it's your fear rather than my personal fantasy, it seems.

Do you have some type of betting jones?? I'm confident that he'll finish the Giro. Next year we'll see who is right. History shows that unless an injury is the reason, Contador tends to finish the grand tours that he enters.

There's no fun in just seeing the outcome.
Why don't you bet if you're confident?

What part of "I don't bet" don't you understand? My fun is in watching the outcome. That's why I love the sport of cycling. The participation and the watching of it. I can't imagine deriving any pleasure from wagering on the outcome. What happens, happens.

I can't understand why don't you bet if you won't lose.
Maybe because you're not convinced and don't believe what Contador's saying?

I can't help you with your slow uptake. That's personal. I've stated more than once my beliefs. You're inability to allow it to seep in is not my problem.

So, you're not putting up?

Up to this point I've been putting up with your inability or complete lack of willingness to comprehend that I DON'T BET. As of this post I will cease to respond to your posts on this matter. Feel free to get the last word in if it pleases you to to do so.
