It seems like 4 weeks of rest are recommended. The first 2 weeks to be completely off the bike. If this is true then it's highly unlikely he can turn up at the Vuelta in race winning condition.

Re: Re:
I've mentioned nothing clinic worthy...one cannot talk about the winners and the second placed riders of those Tours any more now? Since when? There's no doping talk present in my posts, simply reference to the winners of those Tours and the guys who finished second. Aware me on the doping talk plzzzzzzzzz
Apart from that I see a few cop outs, but that's to be expected in this forum eh?

Re: Re:
Think about your own drivel, guys.
P.S. there are people who rode whole Tour with broken something, but it's hard to compare injuries - pain etc. At the end he didn't quit because of fracture, but because of fever, at least he told us that.
This is little bit too much. Isn't it against the forum rules?Carols said:

So it was bad translation: "The tests, said Dr. Manuel laws mean that has multiple bruises and two fibrillar breaks, affecting the quadriceps and the calf of his leg."
EDIT: evidently 'fibrillar breaks' is torn fiber not a broken leg (bones).
One thing is for sure...
Looking for the pages of threads of Contador vs other riders i would say he has 20 or 30 GT WINS.
That means much about how much he is THE RIDER of his generation... You just talk about the bests...

No usernames were mentioned nor posts linked. If certain individuals want to take offence to it then I guess that's their booboo and proves they were the idiotic ones. Shouldn't be calling someone a quitter and then throw the toys out of the pram a few days later when it's remarked that those individuals were butthurt hating.

It is a pity he is not at the Olimpics.
He could be at the Olimpic, in fact he was riding le Tour and close to the best, so he could be at a good level, but I admit maybe ot the best level, becouse he need to rest to heal his no importat injuries. But there is no doubt he will be at La Vuelta with the best preparation and more fresh than the rest of the contenders. That is good for la Vuelta becouse it wast in its plans.

Source? All the websites I've read say it's two torn muscles, not two broken bones.Pantani Attacks said:
The whole 2 vs 3 debate doesn't get anywhere, it won't go anywhere, so let's cut the crap. Any further comments will be deleted.
Re: Re:
Yes it is torn, people were 'translating' incorrectly the first article that came out.

Official. Interesting that there is another mystery rider undisclosed included.

Re:
Could be Michael Valgren.
He told to Danish TV2 'I have almost signed a contract with a big team,
where I will be allowed my own chance'

Re: Re:
If he waited till the end of the stage to drop out, it would have left the team (or part of the team) working for him, supporting him. Dropping out when he did allowed the 3 riders I mentioned to ride the rest of the stage without having to compromise their own interests for Contador.

The man had a broken calf and several wounds on his thigh and still decided to ride. No wonder he had fever that last day, his body was so demolished it couldnt handle all that effort. This makes me so proud of supporting him. He is a real fighter, never gives up until the end.
People who critiziced him for faking "illness" should feel ashamed of themselves, I doubt they could even walk with those injuries and the man withstanded 3 mountain stages and finished above people like Pinot. Does anyone HONESTLY think his rivals had a single chance against a man who is capable of making it to the top 20-30 with his legs broken???

Re: Re:
You don't need to mention specific nicknames to make someone (anyone) call you out for calling someone idiot, really. That people here just don't do, I think it's against the rules; but basically you don't need rules to know that this just is not right.
P.S. no fracture, huh?
I suppose you call this logic, but it is not, you know. Yeah and when you are reacting directly to me, you can write you and don't hide behind "certain individuals".Pantani Attacks said:
