Why would either be pathetic?
Anyway, I wasn't talking about quitting, just taking a break after the Tour.

So did Alberto find time to answer the phone call of Luca G? Or was he to busy with the dogs?

He should just sign with Savio for the lols, the team would finally get a Giro wildcard once again and he could ride the Giro one last time.

I prefer my Dogs to 99% of people all day !. In fact I prefer them to any person. I would be gutted to be away from them for weeks at a time.

I can't help but thinking he went in too cold this Tdf. He just looked so much better towards the end. On the plus side it may be beneficial to him for La Vuelta if he decides to ride. Hope so..

10 years ago on this date Alberto won his first TDF :)
When he was still a fresh-faced youngster!

Im crossing my fingers for one last bit of heroic's from one of my idol's. I know its winding down but selfishly I just want one last bit. I get emotional watching him attack, not tears, just fired up , proud.

In reference to the 2009 Tour, he showed what an alpha dog he was, to resist Armstrongs trolling from Paris Nice thru the year and even post stages at the Tour talking about Crosswinds. So proud Alberto didnt back down , stood up and showed who was boss. Love u man.

So it is August 1st. Has he signed a contract for next year?
Contract extensions can be announced before August 1st as well :)

Yes I know that, and I've seen a few.

But I'm interested in Bertos'. I thought if anyone knew it would be you :)

Now it would be serious fun if we heard nothing from him and then he suddenly shows up at the Vuelta TTT, stating clear that he's going for nothing less than winning all his last three GT's.

Vamos Alberto

He is definitely not retiring. Nothing heard about La Vuelta. Just what I heard- take it or leave it.
