Not all riders come back at the top of their game. You may have to be patient with Alberto. Just warning you now in case you are disappointed.

Nah he'll be fine. Maybe he won't be as awesome as he was before but he'll still be awesome.

Best thing about this whole "No UCI points for two years" - is that even if for some reason Alberto doesn't come back in his good form, he would still attack-attack-attack, as he wouldn't get any benefits of finishing Top-10.

No. This is not fair. Now everyone can post their Alberto hate in this thread.

Susan told me I could start my own I Love Alberto thread. So that I would post my Alberto nonsense or silliness in it. Now I will continue to spread it across the forum until the thread title will be back to normal. I do not like this at all. Actually I'm extremely angry and I'm almost never angry. Finally there was one thread with only Alberto love without Alberto hate and now you ruined it.

do you think it's fair to, for example airstream, that you are allowed to have your own alberto love thread and he doesn't has his own schleck love thread? and if both of you are allowed to have such threads what's stopping ACF to his own cadel thread, DT his own DT thread and so on?

i would advise you to stay calm until susan arrives and makes her decision on this, i won't allow a silly issy fit over something as trivial as this.

Will the thread about what a hero Gino Bartali was for, you know, saving all those people, be renamed to the "gino bartali discussion thread"

nah, i think parrulo means that DT spends so much time hyping the Condor that the words DT and Gesink have become interchangeable.

was the gino bartali thread who has now been buried deep down on the forum been constantly filled with off topic posts?

Also saving people during the WW2 is something really heroic to the true meaning of the word, so your comparison was is a bit exaggerated.

Susan please you're my only hope. Remember that you said I could have a I Love Alberto thread. Now all haters can post here. ;o;

Well, I'm sure we have enough manpower to basically make this the Contador Appreciation thread, and Andy one's basically going to be the depreciation anyway. So might be alright.

But "yeah" for controversy! anyway

It was not a comparison. In fact on the contrary. I used the most extreme example i could think of, to determine whether there were limits or whether all rider threads would be renamed "discussion" threads.

Not everytime someone mentions 2 similar things in 1 sentence or post they are making a comparison you know. :rolleyes:

I say this because earlier today when i made a observation in another thread i was also accused of making a comparison which clearly was not being made.

They could also be contradicting them, or using them seperately, or, well there are a number of different options, doesn't just have to be a "comparison".

I remember when this thread was full of promise and "I love Alberto" declarations written all over the place with capital letters. Look at it now, such a sad sight :(

:p:D

No it won't be alright!!
 
Sorry, I'm afraid Alberto is going to have one thread like everyone else. Besides, you didn't really think you would not meet with jeering and opposition in the thread, did you?

And all: this is the Contador thread, not the place for a general discussion. Please stay on topic. All off-topic postings from here on will be deleted.

Susan
