Unfortunately ( my opinion) he hasn't Froome or Pantani mentality ( always try to win )SeriousSam said:
Re: Re:
This is the most laughable post of the month. Contador doesn't have a winning mentality?

Re: Re:
Care to elaborate on your opinion? Contadors sustained mental strength, over the course of nearly 3 generations, is widely recognizd.

Re: Re:
That's one thing I don't like when people do..... generation does not equal 2 years. It is close to 20. Contador hasn't shown mental straight for 60 years or so...

Re: Re:

Re: Re:
His mental strength, yes, but it's clear he doesn't have a "win everything you can" attitude.Captain_Obvious said:
Re: Re:
No. But he doesn't want to win everything. He allows other riders to win. That's why he has relatively few stage wins.casati said:

Mental strength is one of his strong points

Re: Re:
In cycling, people say generations when they mean around 3-4 years. So Majka is a different generation than Contador. Contador has been at the top for 9 years so 3 generations. During Evans/Leipheimer/Armstrong time, then Andy, now Froome.damian13ster said:
Re: Re:
Agreed, if anything his mentality on this matter is similar to Anquetil, who didn't care about the amount of time he won by, 1 second was enoughLaFlorecita said:
Re: Re:
But Andy and Froome are pretty much the same age..... surely they have to count as same generation....
For me the generations are: pre 1999, post 2006, and possibly next year with Aru's and Landa's emergence (or Froome's 3rd Tour victory).
I guess it is a personal opinion, but 3 generations for a cyclist that is just 32 sounds ridiculous. Still, its just semantics

Re: Re:
I wasn't saying Evans, Andy and Froome are 3 different generations. I was stating his main rivals, during each of those 3 generations (= 3 year period)Netserk said:
Re: Re:
It's not. How many times has he let other riders take the stage?Moose McKnuckles said:
Re:

Really? I only saw the final climb and thought he looked okay-ish. He also said he felt a bit better. If it rains tomorrow, I think he will do a lot better than on Tuesday (will still get dropped thoughMiburo said:
)
Apperently he still suffered from allergies yesterday btw, that's what one of the saxo guys said on the radio.
On the tourmalet, he looked poop fleur. I might be wrong but it's a completely different face than last year in the tour, that's clear lol
