Come on LaFlo: be happy, enjoy the rest of this Vuelta. Yes, the end is near, and Alberto may not win it all, but he's leaving on his terms, guns blazing. Not too many champions can say that or have done that.LaFlorecita said:Same. Still really disappointed, I don't think I'll sleep well tonight. Last night it suddenly hit me that there were only 5 stages left in his career and as you can imagine, it didn't make me very happyMatteo. said:I'm still sorry that He has not won. maybe it was the last chance

Cheer up, La Florecita. It´s the last page of a wonderful book, yeah, but it´ll be the best last page ever written.

He is not Johan Bruyneel.
He is not Oleg Tinkov.

So sad
telencefalus said:the fact that after ermita santa lucia Contador was keeping saying that he we'll see day by day to climb the overall was a clear sign that he wants to win not only to be on the podium , for him in the podium there is just one place the first , he won't be on the podium if 2nd or 3rd

Exact!
Do not forget that the 9 times that Alberto took the podium of a Grand Tour always went to the first place.
That is their "natural" place.
