Even my frickin' Saints Row character wears one.

Re: Re:

The NetApp guy wears one too, I don't know why it offends you

Exactly, and the NetApp guy looks just as stupid.

We all laugh at The Chicken for going to extreme lengths to save weight, but then we say nothing when other riders stick a chunk of sell-o-tape on their noses?

Its Konig FYI

A pic today from the training camp. Wonder why the kinesio tape, hope he didn't crash etc.

 

[Red Rick]

Those arms are starting to look thin

 

[BlurryVII]

Hope he gets rid of those black shoes, gosh.

Re:

Is shoe color a big deal?

Actually it's a photo from February, I asked the person who took the photo and he was in Tenerife at the start of February
I saw the tape too, so I was glad to hear it was months ago and not recent!!

Yep,this not 2014 look alike

2014 was no way near to 2009. In 2009 dauphine he helped valverde win the race chaseing down all the attacks. plus in the tour he only had paulinho as a domestique haveing to battle the schelcks and even his own team. Imagine haveing Lance Armstrong psyk your 24/7 douring the tour and still have energy to focus on the road. Wiggins wanted to quit the 2012 tour beacuse of froome. Imagine if lance had been on his team In 2009 he won the tour by over 4 min and analated the combetition. I dont think we are ever gonna se that level again.. And btw the nose strip looks awesome .. all old school riders wore them and it helps you breathing through the nose

Contador isn't Contador without the white shoes and the yellow, purple tinted sunglasses

He looks like Armstrong on this pic lol, muscle to fat ratio at its best. I just can't wait for Dauphiné.

 

[Red Rick]

Jesus. I don't think he was this skinny the last time he did the Dauphine.

 

[Matteo.]

in truth, the thing that worries me most for him is the presence of Nibali in the Tour..when he's riding, often there are accidents and withdrawals
.u_u

Re: Re:

That strip looks beast and he likes wearing it. So what's the issue?

He's broadcasting to the entire world that he'll buy any kind of snake oil if you tell him it improves performance.

No, that's just you. Don't group the rest of us into your dark little corner of hate.

That tends to happen when Nibali is in contention, he was not last year, nothing happened, he will not be this year. He has no chance whatsoever to even have an influence in the race.

Is that a new picture? Thought they only used that kit in the off-season

 

[Netserk]

Yes, he does look very sharp. Dauphiné should be good, though the route sucks.

It's his official insta, he posted the picture 4 hours ago. La Datcha kit is for any training session / camp.

 

[rune1107]

He will fly up Montee du Mont Chery next sunday. I just can't imagine him ridding below Froome's level. Hopefully we will get a 2014 Dauphine rematch. Can't wait.

yeaaaa....biatch (the best aaron paul impersonation )

...this is 2014

 

[Red Rick]

OMG.

Now I know what Adidas have been up to

 

[Miburo]

Contador looks so *** strong. Gotta calm down, but if he wins this prologue and with a good margin, i'm gonna get drunk celebrating his tour victory.

Let the dauphine begin, will be an amazing battle between him and froome

 

[LaFlorecita]

He looks great! and yes he looks like Armstrong a bit in that photo
