Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[LaFlorecita]

No Tosatto?! So who's going to guide Alberto to the finish, Valgren?!
And please, no Trofimov, he's been useless this entire year

 

[Netserk]

No Tosatto?! That's just dumb, when Bennati isn't an option.

Edit: Lol, just saw Flo had the *exact* same reaction

 

[Miburo]

Rather have trofimov, if he can be close to giro '15 shape he'll be surely more useful than whoever would be in the 9th spot.

But who cares, Contador will win this tour on his own.

.

there is absolutely nothing to indicate he'll be in 2015 Giro shape. He's shown nothing this year.

 

[Miburo]

That's not true, he was in that PN break on the last stage

Ok i rather take Tossato but for the rest there's no one better for that spot.

Tinkov got to have a Russian rider in the team, I guess.
Petrov would be the only other option

 

[bajbar]

No Gatto or Tossato?! That is just stupid. They need at least one experienced guy for the flat who will lead Alberto to the finish on the flat stages...

Re:

It's a sauna, usually it's warm in a sauna which makes veins stand out, so don't get too excited
Unless you're a woman, in that case it's perfectly fine to get excited about this photo

Never mind the sauna, getting a bit hot in here

Re: Re:

Please good Alberto forgive me my doubts about your belly

Oh dear do you think he'll keep posting naked photos as long as people doubt his shape?

So you are begging me for another post like the one before?

Yes yes! More! More!

What she said.

 

[infeXio]

Only Bodnar and Valgren as domestiques on the flat.. oh dear

Paulinho instead of Trofimov perhaps? Or Brutt?

 

[cellardoor]

With veins like that I think he might turn back time and do the triple this year.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Not exactly a Rasmussen body on the guy

Well, and Sagan to save the day.

Leaving out Tosatto is madness

Re:

Yes exactly.
I mean if they really really want only 2 flat doms at least take Toso as one of them.
This is silly just very silly.
I hope the information is wrong

Tossato is old... i want a team for the mountains, so my team is: contador (leader), majka, kreuziger, kiserlovski, hansen and trufimov (moutains), sagan as a DOMESTIQUE for flat and hilly stages, valgren and paulinho the same

 

[portugal11]

Sagan will win stage 2 so his tour is almost done (who cares about green jersey) and he should focus on helping contador

Re:

Sagan doing well here (winning a few stages and taking green) is probably worth almost as much as Contador winning the Tour, so Sagan should definitely have a free role. That said, he can obviously still help Contador.

Sagan does. No doubt the team does as well.

Unfortunately, it seems as though it is.

Pffff

For me a polka dot jersey is more important than a green jersey. We like offensive riders, we like attacks, no one cares about sprints...

Have you seen how Sagan typically wins the Green jersey?

For you perhaps.
