Re: Re:
Great post! Some people are really blinded by their Contador dislike.Ricco' said:DFA123 said:Quoted for truth.Valv.Piti said:It has absolutely nothing to do with disliking Contador or whatever you are trying to spin it. I just called all those out who actually think that Contador is more likely to win the Tour than Degenkolb is winning one single stage. Its not even close.
Anyways, I don't dislike Contador at all. I just dislike his fans.
I can imagine the conversion now:
Degenkolb: Hi boss, I'm really up for the stage today. My legs feel great, it's a slight uphill finish after a lumpy finale and Sagan had to dig really deep yesterday. Just give me Brandle, Feline and De Kort int he final 5km and I think I can challenge for the win.
Trek DS: No sorry, we need Brandle and Felline to protect Contador.
Degenkolb: What do you mean? Can't one of the other four or five guys do that? And anyway, he can't follow his team-mates wheel.
Trek DS: No sorry, we have to protect him, because he has a 15/1 chance of winning this race.
Degenkolb: Sure, but it's the first week, everyone's fresh and he's already two minutes behind Froome. Just give me Felline, Brandle and De Kort for the last 5km.
Trek DS: No, can't do. Contador needs seven guys to protect him on this gently rolling run in. You're on your own.
Degenkolb: Hi, is that Astana? Are you looking for a new sprinter?
We are looking here at some serious **** talk.
First, even if Sagan had to dig really deep the day before (on the first week, have you had a look at the profiles?) he would beat Degenkolb's *** 9 out of 10 times. And if not Sagan, on a lumpy finale, Van Avermaet or Gilbert would beat Degenkolb easily too. On a flat finish? Greipel, Kittel, even Cav will do better than Degenkolb. Btw, have you seen how Degenkolb is riding recently?
Second, if Contador is 2 minutes behind Froome on the first week, he surely won't bother to be always at the front of the bunch on the flat stages.
And that's it. And I'm not a Contador fan, so I'm not bothered by your attacks at Contador and his fans. What annoyed me was the stupid ideas that were on the post.
