Skys Kurt Asle Arvesen tror, at Contador bluffer. Der er ikke noget i vejen med ham. Altså Contador #girotv2

Sky's DS, Kurt Asle Arvesen, think's Contador is bluffing and that nothing's wrong with him. :D
Yeah well those idiotic Sky's also thought Alberto would not ride the Giro.

Did Contador just touched his shoulder?

I'm getting a little nervous.

He was talking in the microphone ;) - Unless he was talking to his shoulder in his best Voigt-manner

I rarely see cyclists smile in wet and half-cold conditions :p

They look focused :p

Arvesen also said in March that he 'knew' it was all a lie and Contador wouldn't race the Giro

He survived but looked like he was in pain.

But the pain should be over before the TT.
He looked quite okay crossing the line, I must say. Not quite as fluid when climbing but he managed.

Nice Alberto, hard to say if he saved himself or not but in face he looked worse than in stage 5, maybe still a little pain.

Now survive sunday, and he can rest :)

I think he passed the test with flying colors. He was obviously in pain a few times, but rode right on. The big losers today are Porte and Aru. This was their opportunity to shed him and they couldn't :). Venga Alberto!

Yep. Now he should go back to his usual style of climbing. His rhythm on the bike was a little weird today. But who cares? He survived it!

From cyclingnews: "Contador even managed to double his lead to four seconds over Aru thanks to the intermediate sprint seconds he won during the stage."

This guy is so smart.

Alberto passed the test today with flying color. I'm not lying when i said.. my heart was beating so hard when I saw Aru attacked and saw a little gap until Alberto slowly close it. ufffhh..... I know today wasn't as thrilling as first 4 stages, but... ufffhh.... I'm relieved. I was expecting that contador might loose time. But he didn't. His team is a weaker than astana and sky today.

Porte .. lol. He is definitely banking on taking time on ITT. When did he attack? close to the finish?? coward. :D At least Aru has the ball to try to attack Alberto, and failed. I wish there's stupid crash from that damm spectator, we would have seen Alberto attack again!

Survive tomorrow and there's pretty much nothing until saterday.

But he has to be careful about astana's team, they're gonna play out landa and cataldo.

It's crucial that kreuziger and rogers get better. But contador has also sky who won't let them ride either.
 
Haha, cycling has got its very own 'Cristiano Ronaldo'. This acting is bloody hilarious and I can't believe some are buying into it. There's f'uck all wrong with him. Let's get that straight. It's like his leg excuse all over again.

Yep, and those doctors that signed the medical report are all part of the conspiracy. Get real. He might not be too badly hurt but there is definitely something wrong with him. Same goes for his injury last year.
