Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

[LaFlorecita]

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

No stupid steak jokes Havy, it is stupid and childish. And only Alberto love is allowed here because I say so. Nobody hates him anyway or so everyone says so you are not allowed to hate him. Only love or neutral comments like "Alberto is triple Tour champion" or "Alberto will return in x days".

 

[Havetts]

ok.. neutral then:

Alberto liked steak.

No, he ate steak.

Oh I'm sorry, I thought Parrulo posted earlier in this thread that stupid steak jokes aren't allowed. I must be mistaken.

I wonder how Fränkie likes his money transfers to certain Spanish doctors, anonymous?

Not sure why you feel the need to either attack my post or a rider I dont root for .

Probably for the same reason you decided to make your steak "joke."

I'll be glad when the Tour starts and folks can talk about something other than this dumb stuff.

EDIT: Contador was previewing Stage 20 of the Vuelta today:

 

[RHRH19861986]

Bjarne sends neither Navarro nor Noval and Hernandez to the Tour... For sure all three will be there for Alberto in the Vuelta, but the Tour would have been an option to prepare for at least 1 or 2 guys of them.

Navarro could have secured some WT points, he could´ve won a mountain stage in the Tour.

Little bit strange, maybe Alberto wanted his gregarios to skip the Tour?

They wanted to skip tdf. To ride Vuelta with Alberto.

What matters more for the team and sponsors, Navarro possibly winning some WT points or Contador smashing the Vuelta and no WT points?

Its old news that neither Navarro or Jesus will do the Tour. And recently Riis stated that the Vuelta is more important for them than the Tour this year. In the Tour they will go for stage wins (2xSørensen, Nuyens, Kroon are good for that and Mørkøv know how to get in breakaways)

Where did I attack you or your post? Was just following your lead joke-wise.

Well they just got a new "minor" sponsor (jersey name sponsor) for 2,5 year (posted on their website yesterday). Their name will be on the jersey from theis years Tour. Not the biggest of sponsors but I reckon they still pay a decent amount of money for it.

Also there is still the rumour about Anfi as new co-sponsor. I dont think anything will be made official about that before they also got a deal with Saxo or a new main sponsor. I guess could be that they would present something during the 1st rest day in the Tour

Fair enough then I misunderstood it.

Don't know if it is to be Russian but I think we'll soon have an answer on how Bjarne will finance a 3 year Berto-deal.

[infeXio]

Well, it's just been announced that Saxo Bank give up half of their sponsorship, and that another bank will be the other main sponsor.

No news of that yet.

i haven't heard of any cash flux downsizing from SaxoBank's part, so it should go up... we'll know more soon enough.
