Yes it's a pity we're not in 2009 anymore. Or maybe 2011. Or perhaps 2014, but with no crashes.![]()
But don't worry too much - apparently the 2016 virtual Alberto Contador is still participating in this current Tour, has won every key stage, and is going to be the overall winner in Paris by at least 15 minutes.

If he was in that shape, then today only 50 riders will make the timecut.
Ok i'm prob giving those 50 riders too much credit, 30 prob only make it

On his video, his SRM shows ~180-220W, pretty soft for him but for Sunday riders, really fastRed Rick said:I guess the 'very soft' means that the locals on a ride saw him fly by.

Thanks! So he made it 1 week!
"First bike ride, very soft and With some discomfort but happy to start riding."
He just cannot obey doctors orders!

In fairness, he did say right there and then (during the conference) that he wasn't going to do what the doctor told him aka the two weeks of absolute rest. Alberto said he needs to maintain his fitness, doesn't want to lose his muscle fitness; so said he was going to do whatever possible to arrive fit at La Vuelta, be it doing short and light rides or just spinning the legs on the rollers.

Why? Contador is absolutely done. He has been getting destroyed by Froome year after year. Injury or not, he would be destroyed by Froome. What I'd like to see is prime Froome versus Prime Lance Armstrong. That's the only way Froome gets competition. Not impossible to do, just need a Delorion, Michael J. Fox, and an old white guy who doesn't dye his hair black.
