Ehrmagerd. Barely realised it's starting in two days. But then I've had other stuff to obsess over. My devotion seems to be fading. Someone do something

I am with you, it feels like just another race to me.

Same here mate. Was doing a lot of *** lately but i'm still gonna go crazy. Contador is my dude, for 10 years now.

I can't wait for sunday, and don't worry i'll make sure you'll be hyped too

Re:

Lucien Aimar, former Tour de France champion and best descender of his time, has published a book recently and he praises Contador technique over Nibali.

That's... Weird. But what are his basis for saying so? I don't think you should put too much into that.

 

[Miburo]

I remember one time though that Contador did something crazy to stay on the bike. Was the cobbles stage of tour 2010.

Was pretty impressive (not talking about schlecks crash, was before that)

What is up with you guys?

You've all been hyping him all year, he is so skinny, focusing everything on July, Froome is about to get the mano a mano smackdown at 100% etc. You even freakin counted down 2 weeks before the Dauphine prologue

College year ended, so no procrastination outlet needed anymore obviously

2 more days. All you gotta look for this face. If you see it you already know who won't be in yellow in Paris

 

[LaFlorecita]

The look of desperation on his face, "I'm completely dead and Serpa is still on my wheel"

I remember a great save early in his career on a descent in Paris-Nice. He was on the attack, pedaling furiously and somehow came out of one of his pedals causing him to swerve dangerously close to the rocky wall of the mountain. He extended the unclipped leg to regain control and avoid hitting the wall. It was all instinctive and remarkable to see. He clipped back in and continued with his assault, although he was eventually reeled in before the finish.

He must have done a lot of upper body training back then

It's a sign that Gatto is on the tourteam. Sunday he's gonna attack.

Who gets that reference?
