"minimalism means finishing with the lowest number you can finish with'There's a guy on YouTube, Matt D'Avella, that does videos on "minimalism, habits, and productivity". Some interesting topics, etc. I think the dude looks a lot like retired Alberto. What do you think?
I'm just bored on a cold winter day. Sorry...

Rough translation - In a year or two I fancy doing MTB races.Contador: "En uno o dos años me gustaría correr en MTB"
Alberto Contador atendió a AS en la presentación de L'Etape Spain, marcha cicloturista de la que es embajador. Habló del Tour y sus futuros proyectos.as.com
I predict he'll be killing it with his bike handling skillsRough translation - In a year or two I fancy doing MTB races.
the paint work on his bikes are shockingly bad
He did it to piss off the Anglo Saxonsthe paint work on his bikes are shockingly bad
The black and white one is prototype. This image was posted a couple days ago, looks pretty coolthe paint work on his bikes are shockingly bad
I know this is sarcasm but he's been doing a lot of MTB since he retired, so I'm guessing it shouldn't pose too much of an issue. And FWIW I think he means the multi stage races like Cape Epic (which Purito rode a year or two ago) of course he's not going to compete in world cupsI predict he'll be killing it with his bike handling skills

Contador was a very good time trialist during the first half of his career. Later less so, but still in the upper third of ranks.Purito was guest commentator during the Tour and the Vuelta and told some stories about his MTB races. He basically said that MTB handling skills are like ITT skills: either you have them or you can't get them at an old age.
I loved this revelationInteresting details about the LA/AC rivalry at the 09 Tour. I have a lot of respect for AC for standing up to not only LA but also Bruyneel. Happily he had the legs to do so...
And think Armstrong was still getting beat by Leipheimer and Klöden.I loved this revelation

Contador also revealed more details about better known incidents, such as how he had to buy wheels from an external source - the Milram team - because the TT wheels in the squad were reserved for Armstrong.
