He made it through in 2014. And the good news this year is there are no climbs proceeding La Planche, so he will have good opportunities this year.Red Rick said:Hopefully with enough focus to not crash in the first week

Clearly contador didnt care when he extended his contract in 2015 so its hilarious to feel bad for him now
To be honest there is quite a big difference between "honesty" and his latest comments which are simply abusive and humiliating.movingtarget said:Miburo said:Netserk said:Who cares about morality? Really?!

Maybe he expected a gold watch and a signed and framed portrait of the boss ? At least Tinkoff is consistent in his ability to lack class but the honesty is also kinda refreshing by today's standards of apologizing for everything when it becomes unpopular. He should have saved it for his autobiography tentatively titled Legend In My Own Mind !

Where?KyoGrey said:Don't know if it is has been commented, but in Spanish forums there has been some talk about the significance of the latest video of Contador singing some rumba flamenca (very badly indeed ) in relation to Tinkoff's words.

And making friends for next season
"I know Alberto well and I know how passionate he is about cycling, and if he decided to carry on for another two years, it's because he believes he has more to show.
"One of Alberto's strengths is his mental ability to fight and never give up. When he is in contention, even if it's third, fourth or fifth, you know he is ready to do anything and can still turn a race upside down. You cannot ignore Alberto at this level."
That might be the only one way he can winRed Rick said:He looks like he's prepared to arm wrestle Froome next year rather than race him in the mountains.

Roche getting inspiration for his columnHelloDolly said:So Nicolas Roche has said he doesn't write Alberto Contador off when it comes to wining the Tour de France (as many on here do !!)

Roche is obviously not one of those who Tinkov implied didn't like Contador ... In fact it was the other way for Roche who left the team because of his relationship with Tinkov
