Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

That's sad. Mostly for the kid.

He's too small to be much affected. And I suppose the father's schedule before and after the split won't change much, thus their relation doesn't have to either.
We don't have an idea of how they'll organize his upbringing, but there's plenty of professional experience to rely on these days.

What I'm taking away from the article is that he shared the news with some friends during the 2020 Vuelta presentation, yet somehow it found its way into the media... Best have a talk with those friends.

Now I can imagine how an argument between the spouses about a shirt for the occasion got blown out of proportion in a tabloid article during the offseason.
Spanish soap-opera, stay tuned.

that's a sore one for bertie and his family, I know how tough it can be with a with a first born and how tough it is to adjust to all the changes , it does take a lot of work and is really demanding at timeas, and my life is no where near as hectic as berties is...

Well that stinks. Hopefully they can have a cordial relationship for their child.

This seems to confirm the news, but doesn't really offer any other info

I though it was an "all that touches the light, is a great place to attack" moment

"So many experiences in life have made me give the importance it deserves to things that are published without any knowledge.
The really important thing is to be faithful to your values, do things with the utmost respect for the people you love most and try to make your loved ones happy. "

Surely it was, and even if it wasn't, we should pretend.

It's sad, but I suspect the son will be fine. I just hope for the sake all involved that it's an amicable divorce and not a nasty one that gets played out in the media. I highly doubt any of his friends said anything to the media and it's more likely a journalist overheard him saying something about it to someone.

I can't imagine anything but an amicable divorce, they've been together for too long and been through too much together for any fighting, and his post on Instagram suggests there are no hard feelings.

Alberto posted a video on Instagram on Christmas, showing the presents Santa had brought. A bike for Luca, and also another one for him but with a note attached - he can only open the present on January 1st... I guess that more or less confirms the launch of his own bike brand!

Technically speaking... while Contador may be getting my toilet brushes order through Amazon I may have gotten his bike order instead!

J/k, of course.

Can't wait to see what Contador will unveil on Jan 1, 2020.

Split from Trek to start a new bike brand.

Apparently the name of the brand starts with “a” and has 5 letters. My guess is Allez.

Might not be possible due to the Specialized Allez

Saw someone guessing Alpha, might be a strong contender as well

Abike.

 

[tobydawq]

Sure, A is not just the first vowel, as "Lance" would be an obvious choice of name.

Now that would be hilarious.

Specialized took a poor bike shop owner to court over the use of the word Allez, so that's definitely not it.

That was about (Cafe) Roubaix I think, but the point stands
