And what's the fuerte thing?

A short climb at the end of stage 6 of la vuelta.

Why have you stopped your Contador return countdown?

Can't wait to see him back in the Peleton. It will be good to see him riding relaxed as well (without the Clen scenario at the back of his mind). Regardless of the ultimate outcome, it must have weighed heavy and affected his performances post August 2010. Saying that, he still he managed to destroy the Giro (with the tribunal outcome looming)!

Because I can't finish it anyway. I will be on a holiday from the 25th to the 17th (so I'll miss his return, sniff ). And a lot of people didn't really appreciate it

Yeah it will be interesting to see what he can do completely relaxed. Although he does perform better under pressure what happened to him the last two years can't have been good for him. He also slept really bad, and stress is never good.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Will be interesting to see what kind of team he will get next year. Saxo need some serious reinforcments both to help Alberto and for points...

 

[Michele]

They need first to find some big sponsor.
Wasnt Saxo sponsorship ending this year?

 

[The Hitch]

Was it.not.extended a year ( though contador extended 2). ?

No. Saxo only extend with one year each year. But with Alberto they might extend another year.

Well uncanny resemblance, right? Maybe I've discovered Alberto great grand father....Charlie Chaplin

You've got a point.. I wouldn't think of Alberto right away but when you mention it yes I can kind of see him in it.

I never knew this type of info was available. Apparently some of you have a lot more spare time on your hands than I do.

 

[phanatic]

Lol.

Alberto to win Vuelta 8/11
Alberto to win Tour 2013 5/4
Alberto to win a Tour before 2020 4/7

But these are the odds from before Andy decided to participate in la Vuelta. I cant find anything up to date but my guess is that they're something like 11/5 both? Maybe Alberto 11/7 and Andy 11/5. I don't know anything about betting odds lol. But most of the time they give a good indication of who are the biggest favourites.

Pedro Delgado thinks Contador is still the only favorite, despite the 'rivalry' with Andy. I don't know whether the rivalry will look like 2010 or 2009.

 

[saunaking]

He also slept really bad

Doubt it

 

[Arnout]

Well he's awake there. Should just close the curtain though, that will help.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Doubt it

Yeah he now has Flex mattress that's why he sleeps really well now

 

[Havetts]

Dreaming of delicious steaks makes him sleep well at night.. I wonder how Alberto prefers his steak, medium?
