Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[LaFlorecita]

Sometimes he needs a depreciation thread

Do not worry this is discussion thread so appreciation and depreciation in one.

He still looks fab though, even in such a hideous jersey.

 

[sartoris]

Regarding AC: he is the most wonderful rider I have ever seen. About the doping, or not; I don`t know. But I miss him.

Second that.

 

[Galic Ho]

Second that.

I cannot wait for him to return. He can come back and save me from GT boredom. Alberto always does something. He tries and attacks. It's his nature. Admirable qualities for a racer, even better for viewers. Without his qualities methodical calculated boredom has manifested. Boring riders have trains pulling them along. IMO, that form of cycling is killing the appeal of cycling. Wild unplanned passionate violent attacks are what make cycling. Throwing caution to the wind and having a go beat sucking wheels any day of the week.

Very nice summary shows exactly why Alberto is awesome.

If Contador changes teams, do Navarro, Hernandez, and Noval go too?

Had to remind myself that they actually still are in the sport. Would be disastrous if they left the team, wouldn't it... With all the great effort and riding they've done.

No, just as a hint of irony.

 

[karlboss]

No, just as a hint of irony.

They've performed as they have in the past, more importantly is probably making space at a new team.

Navarro did a tremendous job for Alberto in the 2010 Tour and Jesus worked really hard for Alberto in last year's Giro.

 

[roundabout]

It's unfair to lump Navarro with the other 2. He can at least make some results unlike them.

 

[patterson_hood]

I miss Berto, but I'm looking forward to an open TDF. Conflicting...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Navarro did a tremendous job for Alberto in the 2010 Tour and Jesus worked really hard for Alberto in last year's Giro.

Navarro is very strong when he is in top shape. Jesus is also a good domestique, not quite good enough to win anything by himself, but absolutely amongst the 35-40 best climbers in every gt he enters.
Noval is just Noval

I already knew it wasn't true because zam linked similar fake articles on the other forum and this one he used too only with a different name.

I just read the CN article about the Contador-Schleck exchange.........

WTF???


Never thought I would ever say this but I'm saying it: IF Contador goes back to the Hog-I won't be a fan of him anymore

Yea, that would be total BS. Prefer if they'd all go to different teams, any team but their old DS's!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I seriously doubt Contador goes to SaxoBank. There is no way he will take the risk of being on a non-Pro Tour team.

His options are

1. RSNT - knows Bruyneel, familiar environment, open to US market
2. OPQS - Solid manager in Lefevre but more Belgium and classics-centered
3. Movistar - Spanish team, solid support, also has Valverde there (positives and negatives).

How about Garmin? IIRC, Vaughters courted him once before, they have both the money and the points plus a strong team to support him, they lack a real GC rider (Hesjedal yes but I don't see him evolving into a true Tour contender), and it's also open to the US market.
