Nada mejor para recuperarse de una caida que 3500m de desnivel con una temperatura media de 39 grados
LaFlorecita said:What a hero
icefire said:What a liar. Or he needs a new cyclocomputer.
Temperature around Madrid has not gone above 28 degrees today. And it's usually cooler in la Sierra where he usually is seen training.

LaFlorecita said:Or maybe he was training somewhere else, who knows? I can't imagine he would exaggerate 28 degrees to be 39 degrees.
rhubroma said:Well, the other day, at Capena, along the Via Tiburina, the temperature registered 43. I feel heroic!
LaFlorecita said:You know the temperature wasn't the reason I called Alberto a hero, right.
LaFlorecita said:Ok, Menchov, Samu and Piti all said they will miss Alberto because he brings excitement to the race. Guys, I hear ya!
Publicus said:It really is a good article and gives me the impression that ASO has no interest in keeping him out in 2013.

ggusta said:Velasco is the Tiger Woods of cycling and the Versus/NBC sports cast has always pretended he doesn't exist ever since he got Edward's panties in a bunch and then humiliated his holiness Mano a Mano two times. What a disgrace that North American sports fans are so oblivious to ths once in a generation talent. All because of Edward's hubris and his vast army of sycophants.
All the kings horses and all the kings men aren't able to salvage Edward's dying legacy.....
