Thank you!
I’m still not good at posting pictures.
Man how I miss those two. Schleck was my childhood hero from cycling and I've never been more invested in the battle for the TdF win than when those two were fighting for it. Certainly wasn't enjoying the outcomes from back then but I'm still looking back at those tours with a lot of nostalgia.
Also, he should have waited
Now that's a real murito! I assume Javier Guillén will include it in the Vuelta one day.
Alberto could only restrain his true self for so long.
In the end he had to attack.

Has this thread really not been bumped on his 40th birthday? Okay, I guess it has now.
How much does he currently weigh?

Just read an account of his experience riding on tubeless. He tells how one of his tires burst out due to a combination of excess pressure and heat. He learned later he had inflated them at 1bar over the recommended pressure and they were also incompatible with his rims. He was lucky it happened during a stop at a bar, but the guys at the next table thought someone had shot a gun and they got down on the floor.

"We did a workout and I went super well..."
El Pistolero still hitting the numbers!!
Too much to be able to keep up with that GCN guy incredibly ! You'd think that even with minimal training a 40 year old ex super champ would be able to drop any hobby cyclist.
I had a similar situation. And I almost pooped my pants because of that soundJust read an account of his experience riding on tubeless.

It was as amazing as a good game at SlotEire. Personally, I like spending time there.

Apparently Alberto had over 100 lipomas removed. I feel guilty about making Contador fat jokes now

Alberto Contador on Instagram: "Ayer tocó pasar por el taller. Tenía pendiente de hace tiempo quitarme unos lipomas y esos “unos”se han convertido en más de cien!😅 Echaré de menos la bici por un tiempo.🤷🏻♂️ Yesterday it was time to go to the repair

Im searching for a full brodcast from the last stage of paris nice 2016 and 2017. I havent found anything on youtube. Do you know where ican find it.
Preferably with English commentators.
Im a huge fan an this two stages were some of the greatest races in his whole career i think.
I would really like to watch it again.

In 2016 the coverage didn't start until after Peille, unfortunately. There's a poor video on youtube from the start of Èze to the finish:
In 2017 the coverage did include Peille, but the only video on youtube is of the last 20 km:
https://tiz-cycling.io had videos of the stages, but most of the oldest ones are dead, including for those two stages.
Why would anyone want to live through that again?
Indeed! The panache and talent of the man. But 2nd place is not good. A great spectacle but he didn't gain enough
I've been struggling to find youtube video(s) showing some internal commincation within the Astana team during TdF2009. During the stage 17 Johann Bruynell is seen in the team car trying to persuade Contador not to attack and then getting really angry after Contador did attack.
I think it was (they were) videos with comments showing how Armstrong and Bruynell tried to prevent Contador from winning teh TdF.
Does anyone have a link to that/those?
thanks a lot

I'm pretty sure the scene you're talking about is in the documentary 'The Armstrong Lie'. It does indeed show Bruyneel getting angry in the team car when Contador attacks with the Schlecks. It's currently available on Netflix (at least, in my territory). I couldn't find the scene on YouTube, but a snippet about the Verbier stage is online:
ah, ok, thanks, so it was a teaser or a trailer I saw probably. I'll check it out.
It really made me happy to see Bruynell so angry I must say :-D
I watched the film. Even better than angry Bruyneel was Armstrong watching Alberto almost winning the Prologue.
Haven’t seen 4-8th GC teams chase a rider down like that sinceIndeed! The panache and talent of the man. But 2nd place is not good. A great spectacle but he didn't gain enough
